Ravi Kishan BLAMES juniors for spoiling Bhojpuri cinema’s reputation; says, “Im the man who heralded third phase”

Ravi Kishan is known for his best film in Bhojpuri cinema. The veteran actor started his career with Manoj Tiwari, and with a number of standout performances, he signalled the second coming of the business. The actor feels that those who followed him damaged “Bhojpuri cinema’s reputation,” hence he is disappointed in them.

Over time, Bhojpuri cinema has come to be associated with obscenity, despite the fact that it has addressed societal issues and produced important films. Numerous songs and scenes from well-known movies have drawn criticism for objectifying women. Talking about Sahitya Aaj Tak, he said, “Unfortunately, I feel a bit unhappy with my juniors. They have spoiled Bhojpuri cinema’s reputation. Bhojpuri is a language spoken by 25 crore people, and I am very proud of it. I have even presented a bill to give it greater importance.”

He further added, “I am the man who heralded the third phase of Bhojpuri cinema, and today, it employs over 1 lakh people. By the time actors junior to me moved to Bombay, I had already set the stage for them.”
