TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Priyanka Chopra, who showcased her first northeastern film production ‘Pahuna: The Little Visitors’ at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), is overwhelmed by the response she has got for the movie and said this was the reason she wanted to be a filmmaker.
‘Pahuna: The Little Visitors’ narrates the story of three Nepalese children separated from their parents and their journey back home. Priyanka on Friday shared a video on Instagram, where she and the film’s director Paakhi A. Tyrewala, are seen on a podium along with festival artistic director Cameron Bailey.
Captioning the short-video, Priyanka wrote, “Never be ok with hearing the word no…because there will always be someone who will say “yes.” I’m very proud of my first time ‘female’ director Paakhi A. Tyrewala for having the courage to not give up, when people didn’t believe this film could be made.”
