Talking to a daily, Prakash Jha shared, “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."

It was learnt the moment Jha conveyed minister`s request to the actor, Big B immediately agreed to fly down to Patna for a day despite his busy schedule. His travel arrangements to the city are currently being made.
