Prakash Jha’s knack in editing, storytelling and dialogue writing has consistently earned him various awards and accolades, including 8 National awards.

As a master of direction, Jha’s work in renowned films like 'Damul,'Gangajal,' 'Apaharan,' 'Raajneeti,' and 'Mrityudand' speaks volumes about his strength.

In the latest edition of the ANI podcast with Smita Prakash, Jha discusses his journey from Bihar's Champaran to Bollywood, sharing how his initial dream of being a painter led him to become a filmmaker.

Having contested 3 Lok Sabha polls in 2004, 2009 and 2014, Jha explains why he entered the world of politics and later decided to quit.

He also provides insights into Bihar's changing political landscape, emphasising the roles of Nitish Kumar, Prashant Kishor, and PM Modi.

Talking about his upcoming project "Janadesh," Jha explores the ‘exploitation’ of Santana Dharma by a few self-proclaimed godmen.
