At IFFI's meet the director event, popular Marathi actor, Prasad Oak spoke at length about his directorial debut ‘Kaccha Limbu' that went on to win several awards and state honours.
"This is a very proud moment for team ‘Kaccha Limbu'. There were nine films in Marathi fraternity in the festival this year and only ‘Kaccha Limbu' was selected internationally. This film deals with a problem of special parents," explains Oak who always felt that the problem of special parents is bigger than the special child.
Another award-winning filmmaker Deepak Gawade stated that regional cinema is doing very well for the past three to four years. "Content is the life of that cinema. People come to watch just that. We are proud as regional filmmakers that our content is well accepted not just by Bollywood audience but also internationally. The producers also don't look at the figures anymore. Once they are impressed with the content they want to support you," shared Gawade.
Nila Madhav Panda, Director of the film Kadawi Hawa and filmmaker Atanu Mukherji of the film Rukh were also part of the session.
