Have no time for politics, says Nirahua

Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’ is the only star of Bhojpuri Cinema to establish his credentials as a successful actor and who has consistently given superhit films. Nearly all of his films run for silvr jubilee and some are going strong for Golden Jubilees too. Success and Nirahua have become synonims in Bhojpuri film industry. Many media houses have adjudged him the Hero No. 1 of Bhojpuri Cinema in 2008. His busy schedule has no openings for any new film for two years. This is the reason he is unable to think beyond cinema. At the sets of Chalani Ke Chalal Dulha, I got the opportunity to have a talk with him. He is giving a guest appearance in the film along with Pakkhi Hegde. Here are some excerpts of the interview:

Many film stalwarts are running for elections in the forthcoming Parliamentary Elections. Do you too have some plans to contest?

Though everyone claims to do wonders for Bhojpuri Cinema, but dont give enough time to it. I think it neccessary to give your time for the growth of Bhojpuri Cinema. You have to work for and in good films. Though I am getting calls for contesting the elections but am not in a position to accept them. I am fully booked for coming two years and one should not try to ride on two boats if one has to reach somewhere. Giving attention to the job at hand is the only recipe for success.

You were on Number 1 last year, how the current year is going for you ?

Pratigya has been released this year and has proved to be a superhit. Viewers and critics both have praised the film. Director and Producer are happy with my performance. I have worked with popular Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh, who is like younger brother to me, for the first time in this film. It was a pleasant experience for both of us. I hope this film to run beyond Silver Jubilee.

What about Ho Gainee Diwana Tohre Pyar Mein, the film by Producer Alok Kumar ?

I am playing the role of a young man who is a victim of his circumstances. This is the story of his struggles. A;; my films with Alok Kumar have proved to be superhits and this too will be the same. This films have some terrific stunts. One of these has been talked about in the media recently. Another stunt was filmed at Mahabaleshwar. Monalisa, the lead adtress of the film was hanging holding a car hundreds feet above a deep trench and I was to save her. With the blessings of God and able leadership of our fight master R.P.Singh the scene was filmed successfully. I was astonished with the courage of Monalisa. Suffice it to say that not many actors of Bhojpuri Cinema have done such a dangerous shot,as Monalisa did.

Your new film Diwaana with the tam of last years successful film Lagal Raha Ae Rajaji is undergoing shooting. Tell something about that too.

Yaa, Diwana is being shot now days. This is the story of a simple innocent young boy who believes that one day his Raadha will come in his life. He becomes so mad in love that his family start worrying for his mental condition. They fear that he may do something terrible. At the end this Kishan gets his Raadha but after many ups and downs. Santosh Mishra has written the story beautifully and so has Rajkumar Pandey directed the film. I have to lead actresses, Pakhi and Rani Chaterjee in the film.

And what about this Chalani Ke Chaalal Dulha ?

My younger brother Pravesh Lal Yadav is debuting with this film. Subhi Sharma is the lead actress in this film produced by my home production and under the direction of Ajay Sinha. Me and Pakhi Hegde have guest appearances in this film. I have many expectations from this film and wish my younger brother Junior Nirahua too becomes successful like me.

What are your further plans ?

My home production Nirahua Entertainment is producing Prem Ka Rog Bhayeel with Senhur Entertainment and this is our second film. We have already finalised three scripts. One is Nirahua Taangewaala of Ravi Bhushan, other is Ghunghat Me Ghotala of Manoj Hansraj and the third one is Kab Hoi Madhur Milanawa of Manoj Tiger. The shooting of Prem Ka Rog Bhayeel is going to start from 24th Feb.

We have just completed a music album, Baanke Dhobia, of Dhobi Songs. I love Dhobi Songs and till now four albums have been released and all of these have proved to be successfully popular. Another Album, Nirahua Ke Rang Heroines Ke Sang, is also ready. Both these albums will hit the market during Holi.

Parivaar of Abhay Sinha, Nirahua Tangewaala, Ganga Jamuna Saraswati, Deewana etc will be released this year. - SAMPURN
