After Ajay Devgn who played him in Prakash Jha's Satyagrah it is the very talented Deepak Dobriyal who is all set to be seen in a role closely modelled on Arvind Kejriwal.

In a political satire entitled Lollypop Since 1947 Dobriyal has been cast as an aam aadmi who becomes a political force to reckon with.

Says Dobriyal, `I play a salesman who becomes a member of parliament. It's role that every supporter of Kejriwalji would immediately recognize.`

Dobriyal who went through a ghastly eye accident last year says the role required immense preparation specially since it's directed by a member of a political family. `It's directed by Anirudh Chautala who is the former Haryana chief minister Devi Lal's grandson.

Says Dobriyal, `The film has a very clear wake-up message for the masses.Very close to what Arvind Kejriwalji has attempted to put forward.`

Next, Deepak goes into Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo where the actor says he has a substantial role. `Salman Bhai's company is lucky for me. I had just a few scenes with him Dabangg 2. Commuters to this day stop my car at the traffic signal and call out for me with my name 'Gainda Bhai' from Dabangg 2.`

Apparently Salman was so impressed by Deepak during the shooting of Dabangg 2 that he wanted Deepak's role extended.

Laughs the actor, `But we had already shot my closing scene in Dabangg 2 where I get my head shaved off. So I couldn't shoot more. But this time in Soorajji's film I'll have a lot more scenes to shoot with Salmanbhai.`
