Patna, July 8 (PTI): RJD president Lalu Prasad today said he was no less an actor than any silver screen star and would like to play himself if a film was made on his life.

" Hum kisi star actor se kum hai kya? (Am I any less an actor than any other famed star?). If any film is made on my life, I would like to play the lead role," Lalu said.

Last night, the RJD chief had met film actor Irrfan Khan, who was here to promote his upcoming movie, Madaari. He had told Irrfan that he would like to play the lead role in any movie made on his life and the selection of a heroine would be Irrfan's responsibility.

The maverick politician had earlier acted in a film Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav, featuring Suniel Shetty. Lalu said he was a movie buff during his school and college days and legendary actor Dilip Kumar was his favourite.

He showered praise on yesteryear heroines such as Vyjayanthimala and Hema Malini. Among the comic actors, he said Johnny Walker was the best, as he could trigger instant laughs.
