As Bhojpuri films find new audiences and regain their popularity, several Bollywood stars who once acted in Bhojpuri films have ventured into production.

One of the new entrants in Bhojpuri film production is actor and winner of reality TV show Big Boss Rahul Roy, who is making a foray into production with ‘Elaan', featuring Bhojpuri megastar Manoj Tewari in the lead role.

‘Elaan' is about a fearless cop (Manoj Tiwari) on a mission to eliminate terror and establish peace in society, in which he is assisted by Rahul Roy, Pankaj Kesari and Yogunder Tiwari.

Commenting on the release of ‘Elaan', producer Rahul Roy said, "I am very happy to bring ‘Elaan' to audiences across the country on the UFO Moviez network.

Right from Aashiqui to Bigg Boss, my fans have always been supportive of my work and ‘Elaan' is a film dedicated to all my fans."

Manoj Tewari said: "‘Elaan' promises to be a complete entertainer, and I am sure it will be widely loved by audiences of Bhojpuri films.

My role in this film is one for which I have worked very hard and now that it is ready for release on the UFO Moviez network, I am happy and very excited!"

‘Elaan' directed by Dhiraj Kumar, with music by Gunwant Sen, will release on UFO Digital Threatre.
