<p>"I think the perception of politics will change with Rajneeti.... in both positive and negative ways.. but more in a negative way," Ajay told PTI without divulging more details about the actual plot of the yet to be released film.<br /><br />"In 'Omkara', I had played a 'General', a political enforcer of a gang that carries out crimes for a local politician... in 'Yuva', I was a student leader and now in 'Rajneeti', I am in the system," he said.<br /><br />"This character that I play has no resemblances to any politician in real. I play the role of 'Karna', who is on the wrong side... and knows that he could be on the right side but decides to keep a promise and stay there. He does politics only because he has to," he said.<br /><br />Ajay is also quick to clarify that the movie has not been modelled on any particular politician or party.<br /><br />"It does not portray any Indian politician, political party or any incident in the past or present. It is a high drama with politics as a background." <br />On whether he emulated any real-life politician to get into the skin of his character, Ajay replied in negative.<br /><br />"Whatever little understanding or knowledge I have of politics, I have followed that," the actor, who has established his merit in serious roles in films like 'Gangajal' and 'Apaharan', said.<br /><br />'Rajneeti', a modern day take on the 'Mahabharata' in a political setting, releases on June 4 with an ensemble cast of Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Manoj Bajpai, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Naseeruddin Shah.</p>
