Veteran actor Om Puri has dropped a hint at joining politics with the BJP. The actor was in Delhi on Wednesday for the promotion of his upcoming film, 'Project Marathwada.' In the film, which deals with the issue of suicide of farmers in India, the actor plays a distressed farmer. When asked for his opinion on Narendra Modi, the actor had this to say.

"We don't have any choice left other than sitting in Modiji's lap. We have seen others' laps" Puri said.

Taking a pot shot at Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Puri said, "Sonia Gandhi thinks of making her son the Prime Minister, look at his age, his experience, see what he says. Are we fools? Pranab Mukherjee is very much experienced and very learned statesman and he has been in the Congress for so long. In order to make your son the prime minister, you made him the President."

He further stated that Sonia had made former prime minister Manmohan Singh a puppet for 15 years, who didn't even look up to the eyes of the people and speak, while Prime Minister Narendra Modi at least does so.

Urging all the MPs to watch 'Marathwada' Puri said these kind of films are made with a lot of research works. Directed by Prakash Patel and Bhavin Wadia, the film is scheduled to release on June 3, 2016.
