Filmmaker Prakash Jha says he does not intend to motivate people to bring about any social change after watching his film "Satyagraha". However, if that happens, it will be a bonus.

"I only expect that people will get entertained, people will get engaged and they will feel satisfied after seeing this film and that it is worth their money, it is their time's worth and it is worth the effort to come and see the film," the 61-year-old said here Thursday at the launch of the song "Raghupati Raghav".

"Apart from that, whatever they take away from the film, is a bonus for me," he added.

 

Jha has already clarified that the film is not based on social activist Anna Hazare's movement.

"Satyagraha" also features Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal among others. The film is slated for release Aug 30.
