With so many films inspired from real life doing the rounds, here's one more to add to the list. Raghuvir Yadav's character in Ishraq Shah's Ek Bura Aadmi has striking similarities to Anna Hazare.
Says a source from the sets in Udaipur, " Raghuvir Yadav is most definitely playing Anna Hazare. The character is supposed to be a grassroot-level social worker, who launches into non-election politics, refuses to contest elections and leads the people into a state of collective protest with an andolan called Bharat Jaago. Arunodoy Singh plays his favourite pupil and protégée who takes Yadav's movement forward."
The similarities between Yadav's character in the film and Hazare came to the when the director Ishraq Shah shot a fast-unto-death sequence with Yadav replicating the one that Anna Hazare had undertaken in April.
The director however, refuses that there are similarities between Yadav's character and Hazare. "I can only tell you that Raghurvirji plays a social activist whose aversion to active politics causes the nation's collective conscience to awaken.
He supports only the poor and downtrodden, favours privatization and opposes the politics of reservation. Whether he is Anna Hazare or not I'd like to keep to myself until my film is released."
