All that we knew about “Jai Gangaajal”, the upcoming movie of Prakash Jha, was that it will be a sequel of 2003 blockbuster “Gangaajal”, with Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. But now, the actress herself has given a sneak peek to the movie by posting its first poster, which has the “Quantico” actress cladded in police uniform, hinting that it could be a police story like its prequel.
Priyanka revealed the poster of “Jai Gangaajal” through her twitter on Wednesday morning with a caption “Thank u”@iFaridoon: Smashing first look of #JaiGangaajal …the tear drops in @priyankachopra ‘s eyes conveys power!”
Priyanka can be seen in the poster with mixed emotion – anger on her face and tears ready to roll down, hinting that she could be playing a tough cop with emotional baggage.
According to sources close to the film, “Jai Gangaajal” will be a story of an IPS officer who is on a mission to take down powerful and influential people in her district.
The tagline “The End Game” befit the looks of the actress in the poster. It’s likely the movie might have a similar storyline as the 2003 Ajay Devgn prequel, which was based on rooting out corruption.
Prakash Jha said to CNN-IBN, “When I made Gangaajal 13 years ago, the dictum was that every society gets police that it deserves. But the scenario has changed since then. Today the cops follow the dictum of inaction is virtue and efficiency is crime.”
Soon after Priyanka posted the poster on her twitter wall, Jha tweeted, “Good morning! A loving Thank You to all for the overwhelming response to #JaiGangaajal look! Grateful to @priyankachopra for her dedication!
Written, directed and produced by Prakash Jha, “Jai GangaaJal” is scheduled to release in theaters on March 4th, 2016.
