Ollywood actor Babushaan Mohanty, who will be seen in his next ‘Daman’, performed Bol Bam Yatra here on the first Monday of Sravan month.
The actor along with entire team of the upcoming movie and his fans visited the Bindusagar lake in Old Town to take holy dip. Later, he walked barefoot carrying pitchers containing sacred water from the water body to perform Puja at the Lingaraj Temple.
‘Daman’ producer Deependra Samal, Directors Debiprasad Lenka and Vishal Mourya and actors Bobby Mishra and Pintu Nanda also performed the rituals.
In the film, Babushaan will portray the role of a doctor working in Maoist-hit Malkangiri district.
“The movie is based on a true story. The subject touched my heart. The first thing about this project, which attracted me, is that it is about helping others. I could connect myself with the emotions involved in the story. I feel the movie will bring in a revolution in the Ollywood industry. I am seeking everyone’s blessings and hope my audience will accept me in this new avatar,” said the actor.
The movie, slated for release on September 30, is a deviation from the usual features of Ollywood and will be sent to various film festivals. Recently, Babushaan visited MLA Pranab Prakash Das along with the team to show him the trailer.
Sources said Babushaan and the team will promote the movie across the country for Prabasi (non-resident) Odias starting with Chennai on July 24. A special screening of the trailer will be held for members of the Utkal Association of Madras.
