Curiozități

Tulasi Apa is a 2015 first Odia biographical film, produced by Anupam Patnaik and directed by Amiya Patnaik. The film depicts the life of Tulasi Munda, an educator and social activist from Keonjhar, Odisha. The film was released on 19 May 2015.

Production

The research started on 2014 November by Abha Rani Bal. She was a primary school teacher in Barbil. She used to travel every week to Serenda, Tulasi Munda's home to meet her and get the story from her. After months of meetings, discussions and research the script was formed by the end of 2014. Barsha Nayak, who portrays the lead character was shortlisted from some auditions.

The film is shot in and around Keonjhar, Joda and Barbil all mining areas, and original locations where Tulasi Munda had grown up and spent her entire childhood.

According to the director the most difficult part, as it was with biopic Tulasi Apa is that one cannot take cinematic liberties. Most of the time people are sure, that while making a biopic, you will end up making a documentary if you are going to be inflexible. How to dramatise a person's life, without making it look like a documentary – that was the challenge.
