Mumbai, September 16, 2015: Prakash Jha’s most-awaited next, Jai Gangaajal, starring Priyanka Chopra is releasing worldwide on March 4, 2016.

Mathur is posted in the district, because as a woman she will perhaps be pliable, easily manipulated and thus not disturb the entrenched nexus of the town. Will this woman in khakhi rise to the call of her conscience? And will she stake her life to restore justice?

The ensemble of the action-drama includes Manav Kaul, Rahul Bhat, Murli Sharma and Ninand Kamath. Written and directed by Prakash Jha, Jai Gangaajal has been produced by Prakash Jha Productions and Play Entertainment.
