Even
before becoming the ‘Hero’ of Delhi Assembly Election, Aam Aadmi Party Chief
Arvind Kejriwal had been offered a ‘hero’s role’ in K.C.Bokadia’s movie DIRTY POLITICS to
capitalize on his corrupt less and clean image but Kejriwal politely turned
down. The role in turn has been offered to veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah.
An
exposé of E-mail exchanged between filmmaker K C Bokadia and Mr Kejriwal has
spilled the beans that Bokadia had desperately tried to cast Kejriwal in the
role of a fearless journalist in his film DIRTY POLITICS, that is on verge of
release and stars battery of renowned actors like Mallika Sherawat, JackieShroff, Ashutosh Rana, Anupam Kher, Om Puri and others.
According
to the mail posted in October 2012, when Anna Hazare’s ‘India Against
Corruption Movement’ was at its peak and Arvind Kehriwal was looked upon as the
Masiha of eradicating, K.C.Bokadia had humbly requested Kehriwal to give consideration
to act in his film. He lured Kejriwal to be part of his film as it will enhance
his popularity and help him in a big way to reach out his message.
However
instead of being enticed by the lucrative offer Kejriwal turned down the offer
saying, “I am really flattered
by your offer. I have been a great admirer of your films. However, you would
have heard that we have launched our new political party. I am neck deep into
it. Our goal is to clean up this dirty politics. Therefore, I am really sorry I
won't be able to take out time for the film."
It’s reported Bokadia repeatedly tried to tempt
Kejriwal pleading to just spare seven days for the movie but Kejriwal stuck to
his guns.
It
may be noted that K.C.Bokadia who came to fame with love story PYAR JHUKTA
NAHIN (1985) later made many movies targeting corruption and dishonesty in
society like AAJ KA ARJUN; PHOOL BANE ANGAAREY; POLICE AUR MUJRIM ; KUDRAT
KA KANOON.
