Deswa,about migration issues: Neetu Chandra

The actress,who has her roots in Patna,is producing the film under the banner of Champaran Talkies. Deswa will be hitting big screens on February 4. Meanwhile it had a curtain-raiser for delegates at the International Film Festival of India before the festival ended in Panaji,Goa.

The film is being directed by Neetus brother Nitin Chandra and features theatre actors from Bihar. The movie revolves around three youngsters and their struggles. It focusses on the changes in Bihar due to migration, Neetu said. The actress-model is a bit critical about Bhojpuri cinema and says it does not appeal to her. I dont say Bhojpuri films are vulgar but I dont find them appealing. To a certain level,I cant watch a Bhojpuri movie with my family, she said.

Neetu,who has a guest appearance in the movie,says Deswa is not a hardcore Bihari film. Its a story that can be seen by kids and elders of the family together. Kranti Jha,a well -known name in the world of theatre,plays the role of Rajiv Kumar in the film. Along with him,Deepak Singh,a native of Siwan,is essaying the role of Sankar Pandey. Ajay Kumar,a National School of Drama graduate who is associated with a number of prominent national-international theatre groups,and Arti Puri too have a major role. It also stars Ashish Vidyarthi.
