Documentary on Anna Hazare likely to release next month

Anna Hazare and his campaign against corruption has inspired a budding director to make a documentary film, which is likely to be released next month.
Ankit Narayan has made 'Jai Bharat', a 26-minute film that focuses on the Jan Lokpal bill. Through the documentary, he intends to spread the cause taken up by Hazare. "I was so inspired by this movement of corruption that I thought of making a film and educate people about it. We are not encashing Anna Hazare's popularity. We are trying to pass the information, educate people about the movement, about corruption," Ankit told PTI here. The documentary highlights the differences between the government's Lokpal Bill and Team Anna's version.
"The film talks about both the bills - Jan Lokpal and Lokpal. The benefits and losses of both these bills," he said.
The documentary now awaits the Censor Board clearance. "Once the documentary is passed by the Censor Board, it will be released in the first or second week of January," he said. The film will also have two songs sung by Mohammed Salamat, who has sung for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'.
The film features Arvind Kejriwal, Virendra Saxena and will have footage of Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi. "We have footages of Anna Hazare, about his work and the recent rally," Narayan said.
In the meanwhile there was minor improvement in Anna Hazare's health today as his fever subsided to 100 degrees from 102 degrees last night even as his close associates continued to press him to end his fast.
"Doctors examined Hazare this morning and there is a minor improvement in his health," a close aide said. His pulse rate is also down to 72 from 98 last night.
"Medical update for Anna Hazare: fever 100, pulse: 72, Blood pressure: 152/90," his close aide Suresh Pathare tweeted. Another associate Manish Sisodia said "it was very important that he has had some food so that he can take medicines. "We are trying that he ends his fast, so that medicine can be given to him," he said.
Yesterday, doctors attending Hazare had said that his fever has shot up to 102 degrees and his pulse rate too had gone up. The veteran social activist has been ignoring requests from his close associates to call off his hunger strike, despite concerns about his health. Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan had also met the 74-year-old Gandhian last night and appealed to him to end his fast.
