<p> After directing the erotic thriller ''Hate Story'', Vivek Agnihotri is now making two films on socio-political issues.<br /><br /></p>.<p>First to release will be his film "Buddha in a Traffic Jam" on the Naxal issue, starring Anupam Kher. The other film is a political thriller "Freedom" with R Madhavan in the lead.<br /><br />"Buddha in a Traffic Jam is in post production. It is a very different kind of a film when you compare it with 'Hate Story' or my previous film 'Dhan Dhan Dhan Goal'," Vivek, who started his career with "Chocolate", told PTI.<br /><br />"This one too is a cerebral film but it isn't anything like 'Chocolate'. It deals with the Naxal issue and unfolds through nine chapters, just like a book," he added.<br /><br />Anupam plays a professor in the film which also stars Arunoday Singh and Mahi Gill. The film was incidentally shot much before "Hate Story" but would be released only now.<br />"The film was almost ready when Vikram Bhatt spoke to me about 'Hate Story'. Since he was the producer and wanted to start the film early, I decided to wait instead of rushing up both the films. I didn't want a conflict by working on both films at the same time," said Vivek.<br /><br />He plans to roll out an innovative campaign to promote "Buddha In A Traffic Jam".<br />"I can be patient enough to bring the film at a right time after a right messaging. When I made 'Chocolate', no one had made suspense thrillers for a long time. Then when I conceptualised 'Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal', not just did I make it football centric, I also placed it in English football league, which was quite a complicated thing to do," he said.<br />Vivek has already begun working on "Freedom" for which he has already confirmed Madhavan as one of the male leads.<br /><br />"It is one film which is very close to my heart. It is a political thriller that gives a blow by blow account of modern day India during last three decades. I can't wait to get behind the camera for this one. Madhavan is definitely on though a few more actors would soon be coming on board," he said.</p>
