Producer-Director, multiple national award winner and Padma Shri awardee Nila Madhab Panda is now donning the producer’s hat for his next venture, 'Bishwa', with his long-time associate debutant director Anuj Tyagi.
Panda started his celluloid journey with the acclaimed ‘I am Kalam’. His subsequent work focused equally on environmental as well as children's issues. He is excited to steer another project that has a child as a central character. The movie 'Bishwa' is based on the life of a blind boy and how he emerges as a hero in a village near the mesmerizing Chilika lake. The film has a highly skilled cast and has Vinay Pathak, Yagya Bhasin, Sharib Hashmi and national-award-winning actress Usha Jadhav in pivotal roles. Bishwa is shot entirely in mesmerising beauty of Odisha, right before the lockdown started.
It has featured the beauty of Chilika lake, Bhubaneswar and Puri and now the film is all set to open at the prestigious Buster Film Festival (Copenhagen, Denmark) and the DYTIATO Children Film Festival, Ukraine. Talking about his debut film opening at the Buster Film Festival, director Anuj Tyagi says, “Bishwa is the story of a little boy who is blind and yet he emerges as a hero."
