First to release will be his film &#39;Buddha in a Traffic Jam&#39; on the naxal issue, starring Anupam Kher. The other film is a political thriller &#39;Freedom&#39; with R Madhavan in the lead. <img alt="Vivek Agnihotri" src="/imagedata/2012/jun/Vivek-Agnihotri.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 333px; " /> Vivek Agnihotri &quot;&#39;Buddha in a Traffic Jam&#39; is in post production. It is a very different kind of a film when you compare it with &#39;Hate Story&#39; or my previous film &#39;Dhan Dhan Dhan Goal&#39;,&quot; Vivek, who started his career with &#39;Chocolate&#39;, said. &quot;This one too is a cerebral film but it isn&#39;t anything like &#39;Chocolate&#39;. It deals with the naxal issue and unfolds through nine chapters, just like a book,&quot; he added. Anupam plays a professor in the film which also stars Arunoday Singh and Mahi Gill. The film was incidentally shot much before &#39;Hate Story&#39; but would be released only now. &quot;The film was almost ready when Vikram Bhatt spoke to me about &#39;Hate Story&#39;. Since he was the producer and wanted to start the film early, I decided to wait instead of rushing up both the films. I didn&#39;t want a conflict by working on both films at the same time,&quot; said Vivek. He plans to roll out an innovative campaign to promote &#39;Buddha In A Traffic Jam&#39;. &quot;I can be patient enough to bring the film at a right time after a right messaging. When I made &#39;Chocolate&#39;, no one had made suspense thrillers for a long time. Then when I conceptualised &#39;Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal&#39;, not just did I make it football centric, I also placed it in English football league, which was quite a complicated thing to do,&quot; he said. Vivek has already begun working on &#39;Freedom&#39; for which he has already confirmed Madhavan as one of the male leads. &quot;It is one film which is very close to my heart. It is a political thriller that gives a blow by blow account of modern day India during last three decades. I can&#39;t wait to get behind the camera for this one. Madhavan is definitely on, though a few more actors would soon be coming on board,&quot; he said.u00a0
