"Inspired by real incidents and real people, this was a story living and growing with me for some time" -Prakash Jha on his next 'Pareeksha'

Mumbai: 'Good education is the greatest social leveller' is the theme of Prakash Jha's next film "Pareeksha" (The Final Test), the filmmaker said here Friday. The film is about an autorickshaw driver who takes children to school daily and dreams of giving the same quality education to his own child, Jha said. The film's first poster has been released, Jha told PTI. The film is in the post-production stage and the release date will be announced very soon, he said. "Inspired by real incidents and real people, this was a story living and growing with me for some time," he said. "I am really fortunate to have had the collaboration of right actors and technicians to make this film. The shoot is complete....we plan to bring it to the audience later this summer," he said. The film is about Buchhi, who drives children from affluent homes to an expensive private English school every morning and dreams of giving his child the same quality education, Jha said.
