There have been instances of South Indian actors trying to make their career up North [though with limited success].
Now hear a case of a Bollywood director making his career in the cow belt!
Acclaimed action director Tinu Verma, who has a below average 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' and a flop 'Baaz - A Bird In Danger'' behind him as first two directorial ventures, is now consolidating his position in UP-Bihar as a director for Bhojpuri films.
Fresh from the success of 'Dharti Putra', a remake of yesteryear Hindi hit 'Mera Gaon Mera Desh', Manoj Tiwari is now ready with the release of his next - 'Pandit'. Both the films belong to action/drama genre and incidentally star the top actors in the Bhojpuri film industry today. While 'Dharti Putra' starred Manoj Tiwari, the numero uno actor in Bhojpuri today, 'Pandit' stars Ravi Kissen who is the closest competitor for Tiwari today.
