While Soumesh Satpathy and Bunny Mohanty have composed the music, trending Odia singers like Humane Sagar, Biraj Rath, Kuldip Patnaik, Arpita Choudhury and Sanchita Subhadarsini have rendered their voices.

So that created a friendly atmosphere at work. All the actors and technicians have tried their best to create a fresh presentation. I hope the new generation will enjoy watching this film.”

Putting more light on this project, Sthita said, “I have entered into this industry to make films and finally I got a very good script. It has been shot at Angul and Mayurbhanj districts of Odisha. The story is based on a high profile murder case. Three educated strangers committed the crime and took a royal family hostage.”

“Here the Atithi (Guests) are unwanted guests and the story revolves around it. In this film our content is our hero and the characters are just taking it forward together. We have planned to release it during ‘Raja’ festival this year in multiplexes. We also have plans to release it on different OTT platforms.” he signed off.
