Well-known Indian politician Lalu Prasad Yadav has always drawn attention for many reasons. Now, his life is set to be depicted in an upcoming biopic that has been in the works for the past 5-6 months. It was confirmed by a senior official from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party. “The film is indeed happening and the work has been going on for last 5-6 months,” said the official to Hindustan Times.
Another source close to the development told HT, “The rights of the scripts have been taken from Yadav’s family and it’s Prakash Jha’s production that will be taking forward the project. Also, Yadav’s son Tejashwi Prasad is financing it and the money has been already given out to kick start the work.”
When asked about what the film will dive into, the source said it’s too early to share details. However, the film will reveal lesser-known aspects of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s life and achievements. The script is almost ready, and casting will start soon. “But it will definitely delve into the lesser-known aspects of his life and provide a comprehensive understanding of his journey and achievements. Final touches are being given to the script and very soon, the casting for the same will also begin. As per the discussions going on, it will have actors from the Hindi belt,” the source added.
When the portal reached out to Prakash Jha, he laughed it off. However, State Spokesperson of the RJD, Chitranjan Gagan said, “If a biopic is being made on RJD chief Lalu Prasad, it is a good thing . There is keen interest among all sections of people including youngsters about the life of Laluji and how he brought a silent revolution of social justice. In the past, lot of books have been written and films have been made on Lalu ji.”
