Manoj Bajpayee and Laloo Yadav, together on film set. Here’s what took place

Actor Manoj Bajpayee recently had a meeting with former Chief Minister of Bihar Laloo Yadav in Patna to talk about the potential for inviting Bollywood film teams to Bihar for shooting and the potential arrival of the National School of Drama.

Manoj, who had specifically flown to Patna for the meeting with Laloo Yadav, describes the encounter,”“It was a fruitful conversation. It is an entirely different scenario in Bihar now as compared to when we shot for Shool in 1999. Raveena Tandon who was my co-star in Shool, came to Bihar to shoot with me. The crowds were scary. The atmosphere is much more conducive to peaceful work now.”

Manoj said his meeting with Laloo Yadav was productive,”“We had a fairly long discussion . We spoke about the possibility of Bollywood film shootings happening in Bihar. There are so many naturally beautiful spots in Bihar. We also discussed the possibility of constructing a film studio in Bihar.”

Laloo Prasad Yadav has always paid close attention to Hindi film. And Bollywood reciprocates his love. Lalooji appeared in a 2005 movie directed by Mahesh Manjrekar titled Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav.
