I’m grateful to my cast and crew, and especially to the villagers of Odisha who cooperated immensely to make this film happen. A lot of credit goes to the people who are often shadowed behind the limelight. I am also obliged to Vanessa Lien Frederique Bianchi who co-produced this film as our French counterpart. Her trust in our work is a huge motivation.”
Producer and actor Swastik Choudhury, said – “I am glad that the film will now travel from Europe to North America. Am sure people will love this film.

Actor Dipanwit Dashmohapatra, who plays the character of Joe in the film says – Acting in an Amartya Bhattacharyya’s film is not less than attending an acting workshop. He is very much particular and at the same time he gives you the space to try new things. Playing ‘Joe’ in the film is a different kind of experience altogether. Joe was a very fresh character for me. Till date I haven’t seen anything close to that. I enjoyed the process of becoming Joe. During the shoot it’s like every time you get an opportunity to explore yourself and as an actor I couldn’t ask for more.
The film which World Premiered at the Moscow International Film Festival in April this year has been produced by Swastik Arthouse in collaboration with FilmStop Entertainment and Les Films de la Haute-Vallée
