Bhubaneswar: Setting the wheels in motion for its next cinematic venture, Amiya Patnaik Productions on Friday performed the script puja of its upcoming Odia feature film, ‘Etiki Thilaa’, on the auspicious occasion of Bahuda Yatra.
Staying true to a cherished tradition, the ceremony was held at the revered Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Nayapalli, where the production house has sought divine blessings before the commencement of every new film.
The sacred ritual brought together the entire Amiya Patnaik Productions team, who offered players to Lord Hanuman and sought His blessings for a smooth and successful journey ahead.
‘Etiki Thilaa’ promises to be a layered and emotionally complex love story that brings together a talented ensemble cast led by Barsha Patnaik, Dipanwit Dasmohapatra, and Abhishek Panda, along with several other talented actors.
