But what is even more motivating from his story is that despite earning all comforts of life from chance of settling in Germany, living a luxury lifestyle to finding love in the European country, Sesha is now back in Odisha just because he wants to do something for his motherland.

Hailing from Natideula village of Sambalpur, Sesha lost his mother when he was just a year old and his father passed away when he was 18.

Even after losing his parents, he did not stop dreaming big and giving up on his study. Apart from grazing cattle, he started working as wage earner during vacation so that he could look after his family and bear his educational expenses.

Following his return from Germany, he is currently teaching 170 odd village kids so that they will be self-reliant.

Media Planner Pranay Jethi said the movie will inspire young generation to achieve something great despite all difficulty. The movie shooting will begin soon he added.
