It's the season of political biopics and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav is the latest leader to get a film on his life.
Titled "Lalten" on the symbol of his political party Rashtriya Janata Dal, the film will see Bhojpuri actor Yash Kumar play Yadav in the film.
The movie, which will feature different aspects of the political leader's life in an interesting manner, is expected to hit the screens in February.
"The film titled 'Lalten' (lantern) is likely to release in February next year and it will be based on his (Yadav) political life," Kumar told reporters on Tuesday evening.
Smriti Sinha will star in the role of Yadav's wife and former Bihar CM Rabri Devi, the actor added.
The film has been shot in different parts of Bihar and Gujarat.
