Film on Laloo Prasad Yadav

Laloo is back in the news, folks and this time it’s neither for his scandals nor his run-ins with government officials! Mahesh Manjrekar is planning to make a big budget film based on the life and times of the RJD (Rashtriya Janata dal) chief Laloo Prasad Yadav. Believe us! Titled Padamshree Laloo Prasad Yadav, the film had its mahurat in Patna by the end of December. The budget is said to be around Rs. 5-6 crores. It will be shot at various locations including Bihar and Mauritius (Bihar, we understand by pray, why Mauritius?!) The film is scheduled to be completed by March 2003 and released across India by May.

Manjrekar and Sunil Shetty will probably play the roles of Yadav and Laloo respectively, while Divya Mirza(?!) will most likely be the heroine. It has not yet been decided who will play the character of Prasad. According to Manjrekar, the film would showcase Yadav’s style of speaking and personality, while trying to avoid the political side of his life. The producer Sagoom Wagh along with Manjrekar and Shyam Rajak (Bihar minister of state for energy and a close Laloo confident) met Laloo and talked about the film. So far Laloo has expressed no reservations about the fact that a film is being made about him.

Meanwhile, Manjrekar, who has directed 11 films, was recently in the news for the alleged connection with Abu Salem, the underworld don. However, he is determined to make this film and we are sure all Laloo fans are waiting for this flick.
