One of the new releases of this week, the Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan, Pankaj Kapur and Darshan Jariwala starrer, 'Halla Bol', is about a struggling actor who becomes a superstar and later put his stardom on the line for the cause of society.

"My film is not for only the foreign film festivals or awards circuit in which I would talk of Indian people and their issues and the Indians themselves don’t get to see it. The songs are to bring in the masses. They form the crux of our society. They are the ones who can bring changes. What is wrong if they take home a message with some entertainment?", questions the director Rajkumar Santoshi.

Santoshi feels that social changes cannot be brought the way it was shown in films like 'Rang De Basanti'. "I couldn’t agree with its climax. Killing someone is not the solution," adds Santoshi.

Well we must remind Santoshi that one of the angles in 'Halla Bol', the Jessica Lal murder case, was rejuvenated because of 'Rang De Basanti' and its candle light protests!
