India's mega play “Janata Raja” is all set to be staged in London for the first time. The play created by historian Babasaheb Purandare will be staged in Hindi at Wembley Arena in London on 20th and 21st June. More than 40 artists from India and around 125 participants from London will be taking part in this play. Real-life animals, a 50ft fort and ready-made set of 3,000 sq.ft will be shipped from India to give spectators an experience of 17th century.

Based on the life of Maratha warrior, Chhatrapati Shivaji Raje, this play was highly appreciated by former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, late Balasaheb Thakre and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat. Film legends like Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini and Hrithik Roshan termed it as a must-see item.

Children up to 16 years of age will be offered 25 % discount on tickets. This play gives an opportunity for those who are interested in acting. Children, women and men between 6 to 65 years of age are invited to send their resume with latest photograph to [email protected]. The final selection will be done in the third and fourth week of April.

All the selected participants will be given an eight-day training and costumes will be provided to them. The participants will be honoured with certificates and free passes worth £150.
