<i>Aarakshan</i> team in the Capital

Amitabh Bachchan listens intently to Deepika Padukone, during a press conference for their upcoming Prakash Jha political thriller Aarakshan.

Amitabh Bachchan tweeted: "Another day of endless debate and interviews on #Aarakshan ... scintillating, informative, educational and emotional."

Also starring Saif Ali Khan and Manoj Bajpai, the film has recently been approved by the Censor Board.

The Aarakshan cast has been embroiled in controversy, given the political nature of the film.
