Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav on Saturday shot for his debut appearance in celluloid, and acting came so easily to him that the shoot for Mahesh Manjrekar8217;s film, Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav was okayed in one take. Johnny Lever, who also stars in the film, could not help but comment after the shot: 8216;8216;He Laloo is a born actor. He just happens to be in politics.8217;8217;

In the scene where he makes a guest appearance, the minister 8212; clad in white khadi churidar-kurta and holding a lathi 8212; is shown rebuking the four main characters of the film, Padmashree Masumi, Laloo Suneil Shetty, Prasad Manjrekar and Yadav Johnny Lever.

Turning to Padmashree, Laloo says: 8216;8216;Tumhi Padmashree ho jo South Africa mein udham machaai thi?8217;8217; As one of his two attendants charges to beat Padmashree, Laloo stops him. 8216;8216;Maaf kijiyega,8217;8217; she pleads. Laloo then says: 8216;8216;Chori nahin karna. Desh ka naam roshan karna. Dekha lathi? Maarke taang tod dooga.8217;8217; Padmashree pleads forgiveness again. 8216;8216;Baitho, chai peeyo,8217;8217; Laloo tells her and asks her to sit beside him.

Manjrekar refused to talk about Laloo8217;s character in the film. 8216;8216;His is a cameo role. There should be some surprise element in the film. Watch it in the theatre,8217;8217; he said, admitting that the Railway Minister8217;s name and role have been used to attract crowds. 8216;8216;Who is more popular than him?8217;8217; the film-maker asks.
