Bollywood finally recognises the actor

Lalu's next halt is Bollywood. Finally, people have recognised the acting talent of the antic hero, the great Lalooji. He has successfully acted his way into power and stays on top thanks to his talent. I can see the state of Bihar nodding in agreement as I write this. He keeps babus on toes, demolishes his foes and doesn't care about the state's woes as long as millions of Biharis roll on the floor laughing at his jokes, holding their stomachs that rarely see a filling meal. On the day Lalooji, alongwith his chief minister wife Rabri, was posing with stars of the film Padamshree Laloo Prasad Yadav, a woman in a town barely 50 km away had sold her infant child because she couldn't feed him. Mahesh Manjrekar-directed Padamshree Laloo Prasad Yadav promises to be a comedy and hopes to cash in on Lalooji's name. Bihar is a tragicomedy.
