Babushaan’s mythological action drama ‘Navarupa’ goes on floors in Koraput

Bhubaneswar:Ollywood superstar Babushaan Mohanty has arrived in Koraput along with his wife and film producer Tripti Satpathy and other cast members for the shooting of his upcoming Odia film ‘Navarupa’.

The shooting of the much-anticipated mythological action drama commenced Wednesday at Uparkandi village in Koraput district. Directed by Chinmay Das, the film is inspired by the epic Mahabharata.

Directed by Chinmay Das, the film will also feature Bollywood actor Ashutosh Rana in a pivotal antagonist role, adding an interesting dimension to the star cast. The project is being produced under the banner of Babushaan Films.

Several sequences of the film are scheduled to be shot across picturesque locations in Koraput district, including areas under the Jeypore subdivision. The region’s mist-covered hills, lush greenery and rustic landscapes are expected to provide an impressive backdrop to the film’s mythological narrative.

Koraput has increasingly emerged as a preferred destination for filmmakers from different regional film industries. After attracting major Telugu film productions, the district is now drawing attention from the Odia film industry, with ‘Nabarupa’ bringing another mainstream production to the region.

The film’s shooting in Koraput is also expected to showcase the natural beauty and cultural landscape of South Odisha to audiences beyond the state.

With Babushaan in the lead and Ashutosh Rana taking on the antagonist’s role, ‘Nabarupa’ is expected to be an interesting addition to Odia cinema, particularly for its mythological theme and action-oriented narrative.
