Gorakhpur: Actor-turned-politician Ravi Kishan will now raise the issue of vulgarity in Bhojpuri films in the Parliament and demand setting up of a separate Censor Board for Bhojpuri films.
The MP from Gorakhpur told reporters that a few people are tarnishing the image of the great Bhojpuri language and culture by showcasing vulgarity in Bhojpuri songs.
“The Bhojpuri language is 1,000 years old and is spoken by 25 crore people. I will demand a stringent law against vulgarity in Bhojpuri films and songs and also discuss the matter with chief minister Yogi Adityanath about setting up a separate Censor Board in Uttar Pradesh for films, especially for those in Bhojpuri language,” he said adding that his constituency, Gorakhpur will soon become a film shooting hub.
CM Yogi Adityanath has announced a film city in the state and thanking the CM for the same, Ravi Kishan said that it is a dream come true.
He further said that he has also discussed with Gorakhpur University vice-chancellor about opening an acting and film making institute under it.
It may be recalled that many had attacked Ravi Kishan and asked him to question the vulgarity in Bhojpuri films, when the actor-turned-politician raked up the drug scandal in Bollywood.
