Exclusive synopsis - Eklavya

Vidhu Vinod Chopra has now a super-successful hat trick in the form of 'Munnabhai MBBS', 'Parineeta' and 'Lage Raho Munnabhai'. Now is the time for him to come up with a blockbuster himself and that seems just a little distance away in the form of 'Eklavya - The Royal Guard'.

It's theatrical promo has caused quite a stir and no wonder the film is turning into one of the hottest flicks early next year when it arrives [most likely] on February 9th. Earlied titled 'Yagna', the film was slated for a January 26th release but now has been delayed by a couple of weeks. Shot in a major way in Rajasthan, the film is produced and directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and has his 'now famous' team of music director Shantanu Moitra, lyricist Swanand Kirkire, cinematographer S Natarajan Subramaniam and art director Nitin Desai.

The film stars Amitabh Bachchan as the central protagonist along with Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan, Jimmy Shergill, Raima Sen, Sharmila Tagore and Boman Irani. We bring to you an EXCLUSIVE SYNOPSIS of this much awaited film.

For nine generations his family has protected the Kings of Devigarh, a centuries old citadel in Rajasthan. Eklavya (Amitabh Bachchan) trains everyday, from sunrise to sunset, with one steadfast goal in mind: protect the king. In an independent, democratic modern India, the King (Boman Irani) is a mere figurehead, an archaic relic of the past. But this does not alter Eklavya's zeal toward his duty. Eklavya remains in a self-imposed time wrap. With the passage of time, his marksmanship becomes the stuff of legends, and his unflinching loyalty inspires ballads. The arrival of Prince Harshwardhan (Saif Ali Khan), for the deceased Queen's (Sharmila Tagore) funeral rites brings solace to Eklavya.

Harshwardhan is barely tolerant towards the suffocating customs of his land but he feels a strange affection for the aging bodyguard and his eccentricities. But the fragile peace of the land is shattered by bullets. The bloodshed, which ensues engulfs the life of both Eklavya and the Prince. What follows is a contemporary edge-of-the-seat thriller with characters such as the irreverent police officer Pannalal Chauhar (Sanjay Dutt), the king's wily younger brother (Jackie Shroff), his murderous son (Jimmy Sheirgill), the mentally challenged princess (Raima Sen) and the prince's first love, Rajjo (Vidya Balan).

Stay tuned as we bring more information about the film in weeks to come!
