Is Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Biopic In The Making? Here’s What We Know So Far

Lalu Prasad Yadav, a prominent Indian politician, has managed to catch everyone’s attention and interest due to innumerable reasons. It is now being said that his life story will be showcased in an upcoming biopic. Reportedly, the film based on him has been in the works for the past 5-6 months, as claimed by a top official of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) party. 

“The film is indeed happening and the work has been going on for the last 5-6 months,” Hindustan Times quoted the official as saying. The news portal also quoted another source close to the development as saying, “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 questioned about the details of the film’s content, the source added that it is too early to share. “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 report added. 

It is rather interesting to note that when Prakash Jha was called to comment on his association with the project, 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, a lot of books have been written and films have been made on Lalu ji,” as he neither denied or accepted the possibility.

Now only time will tell if a biopic on Lalu Prasad Yadav’s life would be out or not!
