Talking about the movie, Pahuna is the story of three Nepali children who get separated from their parents during the Maoist agitation.
Tyrewala said, “Thirteen years ago when I went to Darjeeling and Gangtok, I realised how easily I was accepted by the people as one of their own. Soon, I forgot that I was a guest and began to see the mountains as my home and that has never changed.”
She further added, “In Pahuna, I wanted to capture not only the beauty of Sikkim but also the beauty of its people. Pahuna is the story of people of Sikkim. My vision is not to take Sikkim to Bollywood, but to bring Bollywood to Sikkim!”
Hats off to Priyanka to take Bollywood to the North-Eastern States. As per reports, the movie will get premiered in Sikkim in October. The poster of Pahuna looks quite adorable.
