Mumbai: Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, who will be seen in KC Bokadia's Dirty Politics, said that his character in the film is somewhat like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

"I play an idealised version of Delhi's Chief Minister (Arvind Kejriwal), like him, this character also stands for right things and succeeds thereafter," the actor said during a press conference to promote the film.

Arvind Kejriwal, who has become Delhi's chief minister for the second time, was a team member of Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement. He then took the political route and formed the Aam Aadmi Party. He first became the chief minister after the 2013 Delhi assembly polls but stepped down after 49 days. He made a historic comeback in the assembly polls this year. (Also Read: Aam Aadmi Kejriwal Was Allegedly Offered Bollywood Film)

Like him, Mr Shah's character in Dirty Politics is a "political activist and always believes in taking action against wrong doings Somewhere he is a witness of everything that happens in the story and at last he is the one who decides to take the positive action," he said.
