Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn Wednesday denied that his character in the socio-political thriller "Satyagraha" was similar to that of Indian politician and social activist Arvind Kejriwal.
"It's a fictitious story where the content is somewhere relevant to what is happening in the society today. There is no similarity between my character and that of Arvind Kejriwal. The film is not about one particular person or character," Ajay, here to promote the film ahead of its release Friday, told reporters.
After working together in films like "Dil Kya Kare", "Apaharan", "GangaaJal" and "Raajneeti", the 44-year-old teamed up again with Prakash Jha for "Satyagraha".
"It's always good to work with Prakashji. We have done good films together and I hope even 'Satyagraha' does well at the box-office," he said.
"Satyagraha" reflects the uprising of the middle-class against a corrupt and unjust system. Along with Ajay, the film also has an impressive star cast including actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Amrita Rao.
