MUMBAI:
Nila Madhab Panda’s Jalpari-The Desert Mermaid
will participate in the sixth edition of Asia Pacific
Screen Awards (APSA) in Queensland, Australia on 23
November.
"I
am very much thrilled because the Asia Pacific Screen
Awards is like the Oscars of Asia and to be invited
for a recognition like this is indeed a matter of great
pride and honour," said Panda in a statement.
The
film’s story revolves around the adventures and
misadventures of a brother-sister duo Shreya and Sam
from a city, who visit their father’s village that
is bereft of water and women. The film takes an interesting
turn when the children turn the dull village into a
land of enchantment and mischief.
"We
have believed in the film right from its inception
and to see it being appreciated across the world makes
us very happy," observed Ultra Group of Companies
MD and CEO Sushil Kumar Agarwal.
The
film will hit theatres on 20 July and stars Parvin
Dabas, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Suhasini Mulay and Harsh
Mayar in the prominent roles.
