What happens

Padmashree Laloo Prasad Yadav is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language comedy film directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. Starring Sunil Shetty, Mahesh Manjrekar, Masumeh, Johnny Lever, Sharat Saxena and Gulshan Grover in supporting roles. The title, which comprises the names of the four lead characters, is meant to be a pun on Lalu Prasad Yadav, an Indian politician, who also appeared in the film as himself in special appearance. A portion of the film was shot in South Africa. The film was loosely based on 1988 film by Charles Crichton A Fish Called Wanda. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
