From politics to movies; has RJD politician decided to quit politics?  

Usually, it is actors/ actresses who change their profession of acting to politics, like the many recent examples of Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan etc. But this politician has decided to break the order- from a politician he has decided to try his hand in acting.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) president Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son Tej Pratap Yadav is making his film debut in Bollywood with “Rudra: The Avatar”.  A couple of days ago, he shared the poster of his upcoming movie on Twitter. In the blue-tint poster, he is seen sporting a pair of sunglasses.

In keeping with the demands of the story, Tej Pratap who represents Mahua seat in Bihar assembly is doing rigorous exercises at a gym for a perfect body under the guidance of two trainers. He is devoting two hours time both in the morning and evening to suit his physique for the role.

“Since childhood, Sanjay Dutt has been my favorite actor. Especially, I love his physique and hunk looks. I too want to look the same in my upcoming movie,” Tej Pratap told the media on Monday. According to him, he is working hard to gain six pack abs as “I want to do justice to my role as the hero”.

Although he doesn’t reveal much about the plot, he says the movie depicts social issues. “Rudra is a synonym for Lord Shiva. He is the protector and the film would also show how the hero takes up challenges to bring reforms in the society,” he explained the media. In the movie, he is playing the devotee of Shiva, who is also a politician.

“Lord Krishna played the flute even while doing politics. Quite like Him, I too will be doing both politics and acting at a time. I am an all-rounder,” Tej Pratap told a local news channel. He is quite excited about his upcoming movie saying he would request the state government to declare it tax-free to let more people watch the film on social themes. The movie is set to be shot in various locations of Bihar.

BUT WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE?

Tej Pratap’s plunge into acting comes barely a fortnight after he shared his deep anguish in the social media, indicating a rift in the family. The RJD chief Prasad has chosen his younger son Tejashwi Yadav as his “political heir” over his elder son Tej Pratap.

“I think I should place Arjuna (referring to his younger brother Tejashwi) on the seat of Hastinapur and myself go away to Dwarka. But some have a problem that I could be called a Kingmaker,” was how Tej Pratap tweeted last month, creating consternation in the political circles. Many took this tweet as his desire to retire from politics.
