I'll make a better politician – Lalu
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 19 - 06 - 2008

INDIAN Railway Minister Lalu Prasad is bugged by professional actors who “wear caps” and attempt to play the part of politician. He said in a blog posting in entertainment portal www.Mypopkorn.com that he will be able to do more justice to the role of a politician in a Bollywood film than the actors.
But lest he be misunderstood considering what Bollywood can do to a politician's role, he added that he was not interested in “films which are only about clinging and hugging each other.”
“I had told Shahrukh Khan that whenever he is producing a film and needs anyone to do the role of a politician, I am always there. I also assured him that I can do justice to the role, so that a common man is able to relate with a true politician,” Lalu said. “Several Bollywood flicks have actors playing the role of a politician. They wear caps like politicians and attempt the roles. People know he is not a true politician and do not appreciate such type of actors who portray politicians in a bad light.”
The leader from Bihar notes that several people from the film industry are entering politics nowadays. “It is their professional demand to dance to a song sequence, make comments and act in love scenes. But a true leader hesitates to enter the world of films since Bollywood is show business,” he wrote, PTI reported.
He also remarked on Bollywood's first family: “Amitabh Bachchan, his son and daughter-in-law, the entire family, are into acting and when a film is made it is their own way of attracting viewers by their acting style and dances.”
