Saira Banu Bhojpuri films Nagma Ravi Kissan

If you are wondering what yester years' diva and Beauty Queen Saira Banu
is doing these days here's the news. She is celebrating the success of
her first film production Ab Ta Banja Sajanwa Hamar in Bhojpuri which
has become one of the biggest hits in the language in Bihar and UP and
is awaiting release in Mumbai. The Ravi Kissan-Naghma-Mona Thiba starrer
is an emotion-packed family drama with 10 hit songs beautifully
picturised on gorgeous locations in India. The curious question making
the rounds is: Why a Bhojpuri film as the first venture? Saira Banu's
candid answer is that she has loved the language, ever since a dialect
similar to Bhojpuri was spoken by her illustrious husband Dilip Kumar in
Ganga Jamuna, the splendid 'Sixties classic. Ab ta Bhojpuri ki laaj aur
bad gayi!
