Filmmaker Prakash Jha, who shot his latest movie 'Raajneeti' in the city, plans to shoot his next venture in the Madhya Pradesh capital too.

Shooting of 'Aarakshan', featuring megastar Amitabh Bachchan, will begin by the year-end, Jha said on phone from Mumbai.

The shoot will be completed in 60-70 days though the schedule is yet to be finalised.

Once the schedule was ready, the period for which Big B would be required to stay in Bhopal would be known, Jha said. Bachchan has not yet done a film shoot in Bhopal, the city of his in-laws. Jha added that the controversy surrounding 'Rajneeti' being based on Congress President Sonia Gandhi's life has ended. "For me, it is a thing of the past."

The political drama, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgn and Manoj Bajpai, among others, is releasing tomorrow.
