Director Susant Mani Gears Up for New Project with Dipanwit Das Mohapatra and Sailendra Samantaray

Bhubaneswar: Celebrated director Susant Mani is all set to collaborate with popular actors Dipanwit Das Mohapatra and Sailendra Samantaray for an upcoming project that promises a blend of *love, laughter, and tears.

Sharing behind-the-scenes photos with the two actors, Mani wrote, “When you have got Virat Kohli & Rohit Sharma on your side, no total is too big to defend. Coming soon — a new package wrapped in love, laughter, and tears. Stay tuned for the magic.”*

The announcement comes on the heels of the successful run of “Pade Akashe”, which hit theatres on April 11. The biographical film, directed by Mani, is inspired by the life and work of Dr. Sruti Mohapatra, a stalwart in the advocacy for the disabled community. The film chronicles Dr. Mohapatra’s inspiring journey as she shattered barriers from her wheelchair and became a symbol of hope and resilience. Archita Sahu delivers a powerful performance as Dr. Mohapatra, bringing depth and emotion to the real-life story.

**Sailendra Samantaray, who was last seen in “Ghamaghot” directed by Raja D, will next appear in the romantic drama “First Love.”

Dipanwit Das Mohapatra, on the other hand, is gearing up for the highly anticipated second season of “Gangs of Puri”, which will stream exclusively on the *Kanccha Lannka* platform.

With Mani at the helm and two of Odisha’s most promising actors on board, expectations are already high for this upcoming venture. More details about the project are expected to be revealed soon.
