Team OFFA & Team White Canvas Events had organized a felicitation ceremony for Omm, a 13 year old child artist of Cuttack. Omm whose name is Prajwal Sahoo is being seen matching shoulders in Bollywood with the comedy king Kapil Sharma. He made his debut in Kapil Sharma-cast Hindi movie “ Zwigato”. Eminent actress & Director of Bollywood Nandita Das directed the film and it was released on March 17.
Most parts of the film have been shot in Bhubaneswar & Omm has played a vital role in this movie by casting as the son of comedy king Kapil. Hindi Film “Zwigato” is based on the tale of a food delivery person’s trials & struggle cast by Kapil. Actress Sahana Goswami has been the cast opposite Kapil Sharma. This movie reflects the hardship of a middle class delivery boy in the challenging situation like covid -19 pandemic. It is difficult for Kapil (delivery boy) to give time to his family & son. Gradually emotion builds up between the father –son on how to overcome the situation.
In the press meet, Prajwal said I enjoyed the journey of my debut movie, I have never ever done acting in the school but with the blessings of Lakheswar I could have managed to act successfully. Besides my parents my grandmother Sangita Sahoo & my Rashmi Sahoo have encouraged me a lot for this new challenge. I will try my level best to continue this with my studies; especially I am interested to act in an Odia movie with original story.
