GUWAHATI: The first-ever Assamese animated biopic is all set to hit the screens this week.
'Sarbagunakar Srimanta Sankardeva', depicting the life of 16th century saint
Srimanta Sankardev
, has been directed by multiple National Award-winning Manju Borah. It is scheduled to hit the theatres on November 11.
"We hope the people will get a new taste of Assamese film," Manju Borah told TOI.
The film will be released in 46 theatres in Assam, New Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai. "We are also planning to release the film in other parts of the world. We are in discussions with Assam associations in different parts of the world," producer Sanjive Narain said.
"It was difficult as the genre is entirely different from what I usually deal with. It also involved a lot of research so that the figure matches the character and the personality," Borah said. For the animation director Gautam Kumar Das, the project was immensely challenging as well. "There are 89 characters in the film. It was more difficult than usual cartoon animation," Das said. The music of the film is crucial to the experience as well, with the widely respected musician
Tarali Sharma
composing the score.
