Bhojwood' to have sequels too

Following
the
recent
success
of
'sequels'
in
Bollywood,
it
seems
that
the
Bhojpuri
film
industry
has
also
got
some
inspiration
and
is
all
geared
up
to
follow
the
suit.
Remember
Deepak
Sawant,
ex
make-up
man
of
Amitabh
Bachchan,
who
made
a
Bhojpuri
movie
called
Ganga,
which
starred
Amitabh
himself.
The
very
same
man
is
ready
to
make
a
sequel
of
the
movie
and
has
named
it
Gangotri.
And not only that, he has also created a casting coup of the sorts by roping in our very own dicso-dancer Mithun Chakraborty to play the antagonist against Big B. Last time when the two were seen together on screen was in 1990 in the film Agneepath. It has been sixteen years since then. Bhoomika Chawla who made her entry into Bollywood through Tere Naam, will also be a part of this film.
And if you think this is some kind of publicity stunt, then you are in for a shock because today Bhojpuri film industry has grown to gigantic proportions and can very well afford cost starts from Bollywood. Today, it's worth more than 100 crores and presently around 26 Bhojpuri films are released every year. It is a booming industry, no doubt, proven by the fact that big names like Dilip Kumar, Saroj Khan,Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Raj Babbar, Rati Agnihotri, Ajay Devgan, Preeti Jhangiani, have taken interest in Bhojpuri films.
The fact that Bhojpuri films make easy money has driven such names from Bollywood to Bhojwood. A Bhojpuri film normally has a budget of 50-60 lakh where as a one crore movie is a big budge. The returns from the box office are also impressive.
Actors like Ravi Kissen, Manoj Tiwari (Mridul), Rinku Ghosh and also Nagma have become super-stars today.
Three cheers to 'Bhojpuri filmwa'.
