Railway Minister Lalu Prasad says he will be able to do more justice to the role of a politician in a Bollywood film than the professional actors who "wear caps" and attempt to play the part.
The RJD chief, who has also been bitten by the blogging bug after filmstars like Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan, however says 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 in a blog posting in entertainment portal www.Mypopkorn.Com.
"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," according to Lalu.
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 writes.
"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," Lalu says.
