Prakash Jha told Mid Day, "Nitishji, who is a very dear friend, came to visit a new restaurant at my shopping mall in Patna. My representatives there invited him for a special screening of Aarakshan on my behalf. He made it clear he would watch it only in Mr Bachchan and my presence."

The chief minister is a movie lover and incidentally the last film he saw was Jha's Raajneeti.

"The last film he saw was Raajneeti, and he loved it. He expressed a desire to see the films as this too has a strong political theme," says a source.

Maybe Jha can take some tips from Nitish for his next film.
