Three years after Govinda danced here for a Bollywood shoot, his nephew Krishna Abhishek danced, romanced and fought in Nepal's border towns for his latest flick.

Krishna, known more for his romantic link-ups, has been trying to find a foothold in Bollywood with films like S. Soni's "Pappu Pass Ho Giya" and Janmendra Ahuja's "Jahan Jaaeyega Hamen Paaeyega".

Krishna is also simultaneously trying his luck in Nepal's film industry that of late has seen a resurgence in regional movies.

After his uncle shot for producer K.C. Bokadia's film "Ek Hasina Ek Diwana" in this country, Krishna has just completed shooting for a Nepali Bhojpuri film, "Sajanwa Anadi Sajania Khiladi".

Directed by Kishore Rana, an Indian filmmaker from Siliguri, the film has several Indian actors besides Krishna. The film is scheduled for release in India and Nepal in three to four months, said cinematographer Raju Thapa.

Bhojpuri films, with lower budgets than Nepali movies, have a sizeable viewer-ship in the border towns.

The star nephew, who plays a brother reuniting with a sister while acquiring a sultry girlfriend along the way, acts with Nikhil Upreti, one of Nepal's rising stars.

Gujarati belle Jhalak, who is catching producers' eye with her TV serials, plays Krishna's love interest.

The film was shot in Birgunj and Janakpur as well as Raxaul on the other side of the border.

According to the grapevine, when "Jahan Jaaeyega Hamen Paaeyega" was floundering for the lack of financiers, Govinda agreed to act in it to better the film's box office appeal.

It would be interesting to see if he would volunteer to act in a Bhojpuri or Nepali movie to give his kin's career that extra push.
