Earlier Parija produced ‘Jianta Bhuta’, ‘Thukul’ and ‘Kehi Nuhen Kahara’. Not divulging much on the plot of the movie, Akshay Parija said, “The research on the Paika Vidroh is still under process. This was the first resitstance against the British that brought victory and was institutional in driving out the enemies in Khurdha so much so that they feared encroaching upon the territory. Buxi Jagabandhu played a pivotal role in Odisha’s rise against the Britishers , yet there is hardly any mention of him in the national and world history. This film is a humble tribute to rediscover and unearth Odisha’s forgotten legends who laid their life in the service of their motherland.”

“Odisha is not very much known as a warrior state other than rich art, culture and history. Trough this film, we will be able to showcase the glorious history of many warrior clans in Odisha, outside Odisha,” Parija added.

“After 12 years of successful film career, I will be reinventing myself in a completely different character and personality. I am very excited being instrumental in reviving a 200 year glorious history of my mother state”, said Anubhav.
