Of a Bhojpuri film with 'phoren' heroine

PATNA: "Phoren" heroines and "phoren" locales are not something alien to Bhojpuri films now. Bhojpuri movie-buffs can now watch a Russian girl dancing to the tune of Bhojpuri songs.
"Firangi Dulhaniya", the film shot extensively in foreign localtions and starring a petite, svelte Russian model, Tanya, is slated to release this month.
Addressing mediapersons here on Thursday, film director Ranjan Kumar Singh said, "It is for the first time that a "firangi" girl is acting on a Bhojpuri film."
The story revolves around conflict between two entirely different cultures.Bharat (Shiraz Khan), son of Thakur Raghunandan Singh (Surendra Pal), goes to London for higher studies and return home with a British girl, Tanya.
All hell broke loose after that. Villain Lal Singh (Raj Premi) adds another twist to the story by kidnapping a pregnant Tanya.
The film is based on a real-life story of a boy from Bahadurpur locality of Patna. Siraz Khan, who played Lord Rama in Sanjay Khan's TV serial Jai Hanumaan, is the hero of the film, whereas Raj Premi, the Hanumaan of the same serial, plays the villain, the film director said.
Incidentally, Singh is a native of Bahudurpur locality. The PRO of the film production company, Jeetu, said the film will be released all over the country soon.
Tanya, wearing black corset and trousers, looked stunning. She said she can understand a little Hindi and Bhojpuri. "But, I have worked very hard to learn Hindi and Bhojpuri," She said.
Raj Premi, who was present there, said in a lighter vein: "We tried to teach her Bhojpuri. How much she learnt I can't say, but I learnt English from her."
When asked to speak Bhojpuri, Tanya replied by crooning a song from the film, "Come on man.. ego chumma to de (come on man, give me a kiss)".
The girl is certainly in the Bhojpuri film mould these days.
