The poster of Nila Madhab Panda's film Kadvi Hawa, which addresses the issue of climate change, was unveiled yesterday by Erik Solheim, the general and executive director, United Nations Environment Programme.
Known for his issue-based films such as I Am Kalam (2010) and Jalpari (2012), the 43-year-old director's project is being touted as the first full-fledged feature film to be supported by the United Nations.
The movie is based on the environmental threats faced by the Chambal belt in the Bundelkhand region of northern India. At the centre of the plot is a 70-year-old blind man, played by actor Sanjay Mishra, who is most affected by the water crisis in the area.

Talking about the film, which received a special mention at the 64th National Awards this year, Panda said, "The idea of the film was to tell an emotional story based on true events to people who think that climate change is an issue that does not affect them. They need to know that it's here and happening.
Calling the film a mirror to the society, Mishra said he felt honoured to be a part of Kadvi Hawa. "You can afford to lose anything, but not the climate. It is scary that we now tend to have only two seasons, summers and winters," he said.
The film also features Ranvir Shorey and Tillotama Shome.
