Jyothi Venkatesh

Vartak Nagar produced by Amit Agarwal, under his banner Adarsh Telemedia, was showcased as the opening film at the recently held JIFF (Jharkhand International Film Festival), 2019. The film, directed by Atul Taishete, featuring Jimmy Sheirgil and Raghu Ram in pivotal roles is a story of four kids and their friendship against the backdrop of the Bombay Mills strike that took place in the 1980s. Vartak Nagar is ready for release and is on festival rounds at the moment. It has already been screened at Cinequest Film Festival (San Jose, California, USA) and Kolkata International Film Festival . Beginning with Bengali Film Astra in 2012, Amit made his debut as a producer with M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story and later produced Simran starring Kangana Ranaut which was released in 2017. He has also produced Hindi Film Raahgir directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker Goutam Ghose. Raahgir was entirely shot in Jharkhand (Ranchi surroundings and Netarhat). Incidentally, Amit is also working as the Director of Ajooba, an animation film in Hindi which has Gulshan Grover, Tisca Chopra and Mukesh Khanna as the lead voice cast. Amit Agarwal feels that Jharkhand has immense scope of development in this segment. It has talented artistes and technicians who need little motivation and support to showcase themselves. Amit also feels that Jharkhand has beautiful natural locations which are very rare and filmmakers around the world should be made aware of this. He is very thankful to Jharkhand Film Development Corporation for coming up with the idea of Subsidy Policy which according to him is one of the biggest opportunities for all genres of filmmakers. He is also very thankful to JIFF – Jharkhand International Film Festival for starting an event of such a scale, where filmmakers, both national and international are participating to screen their films.
