Having the right connections

There is this story going around in the industry - from the unit of "Budget Padmanabhan" the Prabhu starrer released sometime back. It seems when Prabhu was at Kodaikanal shooting for this film some people approached him and asked him to intercede on their behalf with the higher-ups. The roads were bad and they wanted Prabhu to do something about it. A stunned Prabhu informed them that he was not a politician and had nothing to do with politicians either. The men said that they knew it but they also knew that if he put the matter in the right ears, he would be taken seriously. Prabhu jokingly agreed to do something about the matter. In due course the matter reached the right people, and now one hears that the road-repair work is going on in right earnest. Wish more film artistes would use their image and their connections for such purposes.
