The Mahurat of Sushant Mani-directed Odia film Mun Eka Tumara was held recently. Susant Mani, who had earlier edited several of Sabyasachi-starring films, is thrilled about the project.
The story of Mun Eka Tumara revolves around a marriage, where well-known actress Archita plays the bride. The film is to hit theatres duting the coming Raja festival.
“It’s a family film. The Raja festival is a time for merrymaking for the Odias. Such quality movies will surely create a new audience base for Odia films,” said the film editor-turned-director Susant Mani.
Sabyasachi has portrayed a mute character in the movie, for which he watched many Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton films.
The film has a huge star cast, including veterans such as Mihir Das, Bijay Mohanty, Mahasweta Ray, Harihar Mohapatra and Usashi Mishra and youngsters like Ragini, Debasish Patra, lovely and Prithviraj. Bikash Das has composed the music and Abhiram Mishra would look after the cinematography.
