RJD President Lalu Prasad today said he was no less an actor than any silver screen star and would like to play himself if a film was made on his life.
"Hum kisi star actor se kum hai kya (Am I a less actor than any other famed star?). If any film is made on my life, I would like to play the lead role," Prasad told PTI.
The RJD chief had last night met film actor Irrfan who was here to promote his upcoming movie 'Madaari'.
Prasad said he had told Irrfan that he would like to play the lead role in any movie made on his life and selection of a heroine would be his (Irrfan's) responsibility.
Prasad had earlier acted in a film titled 'Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav' featuring Suniel Shetty.
The RJD chief said he was a movie buff during his school and college days and legendary actor Dilip Kumar was his favourite.
He also showered praise on heroines of yesteryear like Vyjayanthimala and Hema Malini.
Among the comic actors, he said Johny Walker was the best as he could trigger instant laughs through his act.
Asked about Singh's comment, Prasad said it was the
leader's "personal opinion" on a particular issue.
Choudhary, the Bihar Congress chief, said, "It is Lalu Prasad's magnanimity and his reply is a big riposte to the petty politics being played by the opposition parties".
Asked on Sakshi Maharaj's controversial remark on population boom, the RJD chief said the BJP leader is "always involved in communalising society" and he should be arrested under Goonda Act and sent to jail.
"Sakshi Maharaj is a very bad person. He is not a saint. He is a vagabond person. He should be arrested under Goonda Act and sent to jail...He always tries to communalise society," Prasad said.
"Those with four wives and 40 children are responsible for the population boom in the country. Hindus are not responsible for the increase in population," Maharaj, BJP MP from Unnao in Uttar Pradesh, had said while addressing a "saint sammelan" in Meerut on January 6.
In reply to a query whether he also demands change in the date for presentation of Union budget keeping in mind the elections in five states, RJD leader said, "People are demanding a change in the date for presentation of the budget. But they will not change it.
