JThe announcement was made at a conference here on Wednesday in the presence of Pabitra

Chopra and Alam, Barua, lead actor Zerifa Wahid, composer Ibson Lal Baruah, singer Anindita Paul, art
director Phatik Baruah and executive producer Sartaj Alam. While he was happy that a well-known name
like Priyanka had come forward to support Assamese cinema, Barua said that ultimately a film is accepted
based on the subject and issue one deals with, and how that is represented.
“Each and every social problem has a side of universality. Certain things are universal, and it can happen
anywhere, so it is identified everywhere… In my films, the main graph is humanity… the cause of humanity,
and that is same everywhere. So, I feel like earlier films also, this will also be accepted everywhere.
