Soon, there will be another inspirational flick will land in Bollywood - ' Satyagraha '. The film focuses light on the boiling issue of corruption in the country. ' Satyagraha ' features Amitabh Bachchan , Ajay Devgn , Arjun Rampal , Kareena Kapoor , Amrita Rao and Manoj Bajpai in key roles. Reportedly, the director Prakash Jha integrated the lyrics from the great Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's favorite bhajan 'Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram'. The purpose behind this is to resonate with today's youth's sentiments in the opposition of corruption.

The director had blended the lyrics in such a way that it will go hand-in-hand with the storyline of the movie as well as it will not lose the real meaning. Amitabh Bachchan will be essaying a Gandhian in the film ' Satyagraha ' and incorporating this song in the movie will add a patriotic touch in it. The director Prakash Jha expressed his views on adding this song by saying that this is the universal prayer that Mahatma Gandhi used to sing. He had just added it in the film as a natural progression. This is a great way of expressing our sentiments, said Jha.

The first two lines of the bhajan remains as they are. However, the modifications will be made in the place of Ishwar Allah Tero Naam, Sabko Sanmati De Bhagwan. These lines are replaced by the lyrics - Uthkar Karne Hai Kuch Kaam.

Now, the revised lyrics will go like this - 'Ab tak dheeraj maanga tha, Prabhu ab dheeraj mat dena, Sehte jaayen sehte jaayen, Aisa bal bhi mat dena, Uthakar karne hai kuch kaam, Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram'.

UTV Motion Pictures and Prakash Jha Productions, ' Satyagraha ' will all set to release on August 30.
