India, June 4 -- Filmmaker Prakash Jha's Raajneeti (2010) earned cult status due to the storyline, a huge star cast and a successful soundtrack. The film, which clocks 15 years today, was believed to be a modern adaptation of the Mahabharata, starring Ranbir Kapoor (Arjun), Ajay Devgn (Karna), Nana Patekar (Krishna), Katrina Kaif (Draupadi), Arjun Rampal (Bhima), Manoj Bajpayee (Duryodhana), Sarah Thompson (Subhadra) and Naseeruddin Shah (God). Speaking to us as the film achieves the 15-year milestone, Prakash confirms that a sequel to Raajneeti is in the works. "Raajneeti (politics) ki yatra toh anvarat (constant) hai, chalti hi rehti hai! There's always been a plan for Raajneeti 2. While there is nothing concrete in terms of casting and shooting yet, I am currently working on it," says the director. The film's pre-production went on for a year. "We cast 8,000 actors for an authentic crowd scene, which was quite a task," says Prakash. Sharing how he managed to put such a big star cast together, he adds, "The good thing about casting was that whoever we approached, liked the script and came on board. They felt challenged to perform well. People say it was a commercial success. For me, Damul (1984), Mritudand (1997), Gangajal (2003), Apaharan (2005) or Satyagraha (2013) are just films. But, it feels nice when people talk about them." The movie had a hit soundtrack, featuring four composers - late Aadesh Shrivastava, Pritam, Shantanu Moitra and Wayne Sharpe, with lyrics penned by Gulzar, Irshad Kamil, Sameer and Swanand Kirkire. Prakash shares that Aadesh came up with the song Mora Piya Mose Bolat Naahin "much earlier" during a creative sitting and it perfectly fit the situation in the film. He adds, "He sang it beautifully, too." Singer Kavita Seth, who also sang the song, says, "I took extra time to prepare the song, as the situation was intense. It is one of my biggest hits till date. It's a part of my set list at all the concerts."...
