Director Rajkumar Santoshi says his latest film "Halla Bol" is inspired by murdered theatre activist Safdar Hashmi and urges people to raise their voice against injustice.
"'Halla Bol' means attack and the film says that one must not take injustice lying down. I am not advocating violence in my film but talking about raising our voice against injustice," Santoshi told IANS in an e-mail interview.
The film will be released some time in August and stars Ajay Devgan, Pankaj Kapur and Vidya Balan in important roles.
Most of Santoshi's films are inspired by reality. And this one is no different. It is based on the late Safdar Hashmi - who was killed by political goons while trying to stage the play "Halla Bol" in Delhi in 1989.
Santoshi has made films like "Family", "Khakee", "The Legend of Bhagat Singh", "Lajja", "Pukar" and "China Gate".
"I have always followed my heart, instinct and conscience and made movies. At this point of time, I am awaiting the response to 'Halla Bol'. I have made it with great love and affection," the director said.
