Best Children’s Film at the 68th National Film Award, “Sumi” is getting an OTT release. The film’s poster was recently unveiled by the filmmakers.
Director Amol Vasant Gole said: “The risk we took to tell a brave story has paid off. Every character in the film will leave the audience with a strong message, especially the characters of both the kids who have performed so real by understanding the nerves and emotions.”
The film, which stars child actors Akanksha Pingale and Divyesh Indulkar, as well as seasoned actors Smita Tambe and Nitin Bhajan, tells the inspiring story of a stone quarry worker’s daughter and her pursuit of higher education.
Sanjeev K. Jha wrote the original story, which was produced by Harshall Vinay Kamat, Swati S. Sharma, Mihir Kumar Sharma, Anand Panchal, Jayaditya Giri, Sonali Jayant, and Jayant Yewale. Sumi will be available to watch on Planet Marathi beginning November 14, in honour of Children’s Day in the country.
