Aarakshan, directed by Prakash Jha, that speaks about caste-based reservation system will hit the screens. Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Manoj Bajpai, Saif Ali Khan  and Pratiek Babbar form part ofthe cast. Speaking about the film, Jha says Aarakshan was completed in 55 days. It is a film that doesn't offer immediate solutions to the reservation system, but it tries to look at it from every possible point of view.

'I have tried to weave a nice, emotional story with my little intellectual resources.' Amitabh Bachchan is Prabhakar Anand, the disciplinarian college principle and also Deepika's father.  Deepika is torn between her father and her boyfriend, and her father is torn between idealism and reality. With enough publicity and protests already agaionst the film, one waits to see how the movie would open.
