As 15th August celebrates the Independence Day of the country, John Abraham is coming up with another film Satyameva Jayate which he feels is a reminiscent of what happened in the 70s and 80s where the angry young man would stand up against what was happening in the society. The film is out for release tomorrow on August 15 and stars John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee in lead roles.

Talking about it John says, "Satyameva Jayate is reminiscent of what happened in the 70s and 80s with the angry young man, with Amitabh Bachchan coming in because of what was happening in the society then. Today there is a lot of pent up frustration in the society about corruption and crimes against women."

The actor of late has been doing a lot of patriotic films like Parmanu, Batla House, Sarfarosh 2, RAW and also Satyamev Jayate. In this film the muscular, tall, good looking, robust John would be seen in the role of a policeman. Talking about patriotism John says, "The sense of Indianess is very high among the youth. When you beat your chest and say you are proud to be an Indian, it works at a very emotional level with youngsters, which I think is great."

He adds, "Right now we are only saying its cool to be Indian. What are we doing about it? Little things like women's safety, ban on plastic can be done.I was telling Manoj that now the only thing left is for a news article to come saying that a tree has been abused and molested. Its nor even a joke, its just sad."
