Friday, 28th Nov 2014, 5:23 PM IST Bhojpuri star Manoj Tiwari is also a BJP MP and recently PM Narendra Modi told him to make saafsuthri (clean) films that even he can watch and not to star in commercial potboilers. A friend of Manoj said, "In his defence. Tiwari told Modi that the films are his bread and butter. But all said and done, Tiwari has eventually taken it in his stride." Tiwari confirmed the news and said, "Modi did have a word with me. He didn't tell me that I should stop doing the typical Bhojpuri films. But yes he did say: 'Please come up with a film which I can watch'. You can interpret that as: Mr Modi wants me to do saafsuthri films." "We are pressing for Bhojpuri language to get official status. So, I think Mr Modi wants me to set an example. He wants me to do films which are in line with our party's ideology. He wants me to do movies which have a strong social message. I don't think he is wrong," added Manoj.
