Cine producer Akshay Parija is once again in news for his movie Kadvi Hawa, which got a special mention at the 64th National Film Awards.
Kadvi Hawa has been produced by internationally-acclaimed director Nila Madhab Panda and Parija, a Dubai based film-maker. They are passionate promoters of Odia culture, tradition and heritage.
“I am glad to work with the Padmashree Awardee Nila Madhab and that too on a very pertinent subject of present day effects of climate change. It was overwhelming to know that our movie has got a special mention in the 64th National Award. It’s a very powerful film on a contemporary subject and awards definitely encourage us,” said Parija.
Panda said,”The film is about a blind old man and a young loan recovery agent. Ironically both coming from two extreme weather conditions and having zero contribution to the global climate change, fight for their survival. This film is very special for me and I remember the toil we took for the movie. It’s a proud moment for all of us to be named in the 64th National Film Award 2017.”
The film had a very interesting ensemble of cast that includes Sanjay Mishra, Ranvir Shorey, Tilottama Shome and Bhupesh.
