MUMBAI: UTV Motion Pictures will release Prakash Jha directed Raajneeti on 4 June.

Raajneeti is co-produced by UTV Motion Pictures and Walkwater Media Ltd.

Raajneeti stars Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpai and Naseerrudin Shah along with newcomer Sarah. The music of the film has been composed by Wayne Sharpe and screenplay is by Prakash Jha and Anjum Rajabali.

“Rajneeti is a high drama film with politics as the background and who is more adept and accomplished than Jha to pull off a film based on politics. We believe we have a powerful script and the most exciting cast ensemble of today,” UTV Motion Pictures CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur said.

The film has generated interest prior to launch as the storyline matches to that of the Gandhi family with Kaif’s role similar to that of Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
