Other casts include Puja Jha of Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega fame, Tripura’s popuar actor Hrishie Raj, Ajay Khundal of Mardani fame, Happy Kalizpuria and and Tripura’s Sayantika Nath.
“I am lucky enough to get my first Hindi feature film to be shot in Tripura,” said film’s director Saif Baidya.
“The culture, the community, the food, the weather, the vibes were so perfect for me to shoot my biggest budget film so far,” he added.
The scripting of the film began in 2018, Baidya further said, adding that he didn’t know what should be the exact geography of the story.
Film’s associate producer Joysankar Bhattacharjee feels that Noise Of Silence will be a gateway to the Bollywood industry for the actors and technicians from Tripura.
“It will be an inspiration for the entire northeast. We look forward for more such projects in the future,” he further said, adding, “We hope Noise Of Silence will create some noise-not just in the region but across the country.”
