Description

In a nation singularly obsessed with politics on the one hand and cinema on the other, it is no wonder that the point where the two intersect arouses immense interest and curiosity - more so when the larger-than-life personalities who entertain us on screen cross over to the world of governance and politics off screen.
Neta Abhineta: Star Power in Indian Politics traces this phenomenon from the time of India’s Independence in 1947 through compelling portrayals of some of the most prominent actors in Hindi cinema who have over the years entered Indian politics, including Dilip Kumar, Nargis and Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna, the Bachchans, Shatrughan Sinha, Hema Malini, Mithun Chakraborty, Jaya Prada, Vinod Khanna, Govinda, Raj Babbar and Paresh Rawal.
Blending history, facts, entertaining gossip and exclusive insider knowledge, Rasheed Kidwai's latest offering gives us a broad view of the intersection of two worlds that are not always as different as they appear as well as of the peculiar nature of India's politics.
