He is the savior of our culture and tradition, an inspiration for everyone who loves giving, our future generations will learn from his simplicity which we have captured in the film. We want the entire world to see his story and appeal the people of Odisha and India to watch and spread the trailer so much so that the gap of viewership between a documentary and a commercial fades away.
Producer (Dr. Abhay Pati): We wanted to do something for Padmashri Nanda Sir. The way he had dedicated his life selflessly for providing free education to his people for 4 generations, his story was worth sharing to the world, nothing can be a better gift than this.
