Films like Munnabhai MBBS, Rang de Basanti, 3 Idiots, A Wednesday, that have reflected relevant social issues, have always done well, because of their ability to connect with the audience. Leander Paes debut film ‘Rajdhani Express', a social satire is right on track & belongs to this league of illustrious films that mirrors our contemporary society in an entertaining way.

RAJDHANI EXPRESS is produced by CineActs and Manoj Kejriwal, and directed by Ashok Kohli. The shooting of the film is currently underway with a huge set created in Mumbai and is slated for release in 2011.

RAJDHANI EXPRESS is a racy bare-all game indulged by the 4 youths who chanced to travel together... exposes the chasms between them... igniting retaliation in one... making it a perfect opportunity for the powers that be, to extract Political mileage, leaving them mutilated, humiliated.

Leander Paes has been the flag-bearer and the sports magnet for the game of tennis in India and is known for his passionate and lionhearted performances, establishing him as the action man of Indian tennis. But Leander is now gung-ho on his new Avatar in the Action-Cut-glamour world of Bollywood, pursuing his newest passion.

Says Director Ashok Kohli "Cinema cannot ignore to mirror society. The problems of an ‘Aam Aadmi' existed then and exist now. My take is essentially about the exclusive, indifferent and abusively patronizing mindset towards them, which is both uncaring and apathetic.

Add to that the derailment of the constitutional promise of liberty, equality and justice to ensure the DIGNITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL, ......... you have your "Rajdhani Express"..The film expresses the angst and retaliation which finds the protagonist trapped in a situation where the powers that be, seek political mileage showcasing the denial of the promise due to the systematic failure. Nevertheless the film, seeks to entertain rather than preach".

Says Producer Manoj Kejriwal "This is the story of a Aam Aadmi condemned to failure and without hope of becoming part of progressive India because of the schisms of caste and class, where even the well off are not safe as those holding power have sabotaged the very meaning and purpose of freedom"
