Lapataganj goes the Peepli way

According to the latest buzz, Sab TV’s Lapataganj is all geared up for an interesting track, which will be on the lines of the plot of the film, Peepli Live. Rohitash Gaur, who plays Mukundi, the lead, along with Sutti runs a snack-stall in the society and these two men will play central characters in the track. Says a source, “It all begins with a government official Kanya Kumara’s threat to Sutti saying the shop he has set up is illegal and that he will have to shell out around 5 lakh rupees to reclaim the land. Sutti panics and with the timely advice of a few of his well wishers, including Mukundi, decides to go on a hunger strike.” Adds the source, “Soon the media persons descend on Lapataganj for a scene-by-scene update on Sutti, a la Natha of Peepli Live. This track starts tonight and will continue till Wednesday.” All efforts to reach Gaur remained unavailable. Sounds like an interesting track…
