Gorakhpur: Actor turned politician and Gorakhpur MP Ravi Kishan condemned vulgarity in Bhojpuri songs and films and said he will raise the issue in parliament and demand a stringent law against it, besides setting up a censor board for Bhojpuri films.
Addressing a press conference on the launch of shooting of a web series in Gorakhpur on Monday, Ravi Kishan said, “Bhojpuri language is 1,000 years old and is spoken by 25 crore people. Some people are tarnishing the image of the language by adding vulgarity in Bhojpuri songs. I’ll demand a stringent law against it and also discuss with CM Yogi Adityanath about setting up a censor board in Uttar Pradesh for films, especially for Bhojpuri language.”
The MP said Gorakhpur will also become a film shooting hub adding not many people knew about Switzerland till they saw films of Yash Chopra who did shooting there.
He thanked CM Yogi for announcing the film city in the state and said, “Gorakhpur will become a film shooting hub. It is a dream which I and CM Yogi had seen and I am very happy that it is coming true. Gorakhpur will become a film shooting hub, especially for regional cinema. Sixty episodes of a 500-episode web series, Crime Stop would be shot here. All the artists in the web series episodes shot will be from Purvanchal.”
“I had a discussion with DDU Gorakhpur University vice-chancellor and discussed opening an acting and film making institute under it,” Kishan added.
Producer of the web series Bobby Singh and ABZY Cool channel managing director Ranvir Singh were also present on the occasion.
