Patna, (Bihar Times): Bhojpuri superstar Ravi Kishan on Thursday said in Mumbai he would move the court for revoking the ban imposed on him by newly-created the Bihar and Jharkhand Motion Picture Producers Association (BJMPPA). He also threatened to file a defamation suit as the move has maligned his image.

He wondered as to how sudden ban can be imposed by an organization and that too without even issuing any notice seeking an explanation. This is against the democratic ethos of the country, he told a section of Press in Mumbai.

He said that no actor has ever been banned in this country and he would seek judicial recourse to not only get the ban revoked but also file defamation suit.

The Association had taken a strong objection to Kishan supporting veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty, who after a payment dispute with a Bihar-based producer, decided not to act in any Bhojpuri films in the state or Jharkhand. Kishan said that his statement had been misinterpreted.

The Bihar-Jharkhand Motion Pictures’Association on December 30 decided to fight for the rights of the Bhojpuri actors and actresses from the region. The new body will comprise Bhojpuri film actors, producers and directors as its members.
