Ravi Kishan and Manoj Tiwari – two titans of Bhojpuri cinema – once turned a set into a standoff that dragged on for nearly six hours. The story slipped out of Aamrapali Dubey’s mouth during a Bigg Boss 20 monologue, and it’s as absurd as it is telling.
The set in question belonged to the 2011 hit Ganga Jamuna Saraswati, directed by Harry Fernandes. The scene was a classic police‑thief brawl, with Manoj playing the cop and Ravi the criminal. But when the blocking call came, both men insisted on launching the first punch, and the crew was left staring at a clock that ticked too slowly.
Enter Dinesh Lal Yadav – popularly known as Nirahua – who stepped in like a referee. He suggested a truce: each would raise a fist, he would take the initial blow, and then the duel could proceed. After a six‑hour standoff, the decision was made – Nirahua was the first to get hit, and the fight resumed.
Dubey, who’s no stranger to the limelight herself, revealed the tale on Bigg Boss 20, where the drama of everyday life collides with Bollywood‑style theatrics. It’s a reminder that even in a medium that thrives on spectacle, ego can become a real production nightmare – a lesson that the film industry still wrestles with today.
