The Hindi film industry is known for its fierce rivalries, not just between actresses, but also between male stars. These clashes often stem from egos and can simmer for years, even among the biggest names. A similar tale of rivalry and reconciliation has emerged from the Bhojpuri film industry, involving two prominent figures who are now also prominent faces of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Manoj Tiwari and Ravi Kishan, both superstars in their heyday, have shared the screen and have been at the center of a long-standing feud that lasted for 13 years. Their rivalry was rooted in their individual demands for scripts that suited their style, which sometimes led to conflicts with filmmakers.
The tension between them was palpable when they appeared on Kapil Sharma’s show, where they recounted their experiences. Ravi Kishan revealed that the clash stemmed from their different approaches to their craft. Manoj Tiwari, on the other hand, hinted that Ravi Kishan would often request changes to the script after signing a film, causing friction.
Their rivalry took a dramatic turn when they worked together on a film where Manoj played an SP and Ravi portrayed a thief. In one scene, Ravi wanted to retaliate against Manoj’s character, mirroring their real-life tension. The director was asked to change the script.
A Long-Standing Feud
The feud between Manoj Tiwari and Ravi Kishan was not just about creative differences; it was also fueled by their individual egos. Both actors were at the peak of their careers, enjoying a significant following.
