Madhu said in a statement: “It was a huge honour for everyone associated with Pahuna to attend the prestigious festival and present the film’s first look.”
As the title of the film suggests, the poster of “Pahuna” (The Little Visitors) puts the spotlight on two local children giving intense looks. In the background, one can see the little girl cooking something in a pot and the boy looking after a baby.
In a statement to IANS, Paakhi Tyrewala said, “Thirteen years ago when I went to Darjeeling and Gangtok, I realized 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. 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!”
While Priyanka who is busy promoting her Hollywood debut, “Baywatch”, couldn’t make it to film festival to unveil the poster of “Pahuna”, her mother Madhu Chopra and brother Siddharth Chopra made the announcement at Cannes on 21 May. The film will be directed by Paakhi A Tyrewala.
