Lights, Camera, Politics: The Real Reason Why Politicians Bring In Film Stars | Watch

Manoj Tiwari, Kangana Ranaut, Dev, Hema Malini, Locket Chatterjee are just some of the film stars who are in the fray this election. It's not a new trend and they have many who have walked this path before them - from Amitabh Bachchan to Rajesh Khanna and Shatrughan Sinha. In this podcast, Avijit Ghosh and Ketki Angre talk about how it all started, who the first film star was to straddle the world of politics. Some of these filmy icons have been giant slayers at the hustings but not everyone has found their calling in neta-nagri. We look at the hits and misses from the world of glamour -- who drew in the crowds and votes and who couldn't convert the star power into political capital.
