Raajneeti <\/em>had some of the biggest names in Bollywood in its ensemble cast. The film had \u00a0Ajay Devgn,\u00a0Nana Patekar,\u00a0Ranbir Kapoor,\u00a0Katrina Kaif,\u00a0Arjun Rampal,\u00a0Manoj Bajpayee,\u00a0Sarah Thompson, and\u00a0Naseeruddin Shah in key roles. It was directed and produced by Prakash Jha.<\/p>\n

The story was based on the Mahabharata<\/em>, which extensively depicted a looming conflict between rival political families and parties. Amidst a lot of controversy, the film was released in theatres on June 4, 2010.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dune<\/em> director Denis Villeneuve in conversation with Film programmer Deepti D’Cunha, revealed that Raajneeti <\/em>is the first Hindi film that he just watched. He also confessed that he was particularly impressed by Ranbir Kapoor’s performance in the film.<\/p>\n

Deepti shared a picture of Villeneuve’s signature on X, and captioned it, “Browsing through old film festival catalogues, I found Denis Villeneuve’s autograph (yes! before selfie days). He had come to premiere Incendies<\/em> at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival, 2010, and I remember the wonderful conversation we had because he’d just watched his first Indian film.”<\/p>\n
