These comments have gone viral, causing damage to the reputation of the industry, which prompted the association’s complaint.

Association’s Stance

Initially, the association’s president, Sabyasachi Mishra, emphasized that although everyone has the right to voice their opinion, nonetheless, defaming individuals’ characters is completely unacceptable. Furthermore, according to him, specifically, the ongoing negative comments by Manoj Mishra against Odia artists are not only highly inappropriate but also severely damaging to the industry’s reputation. The association has condemned his actions and called for accountability.

Veteran director Basanta Sahoo stated that Odia cinema is evolving, and filmmakers are now making several national and international-level films. He emphasized that many talented and experienced directors and actors are pushing Ollywood forward. He condemned Manoj Mishra’s character attacks on industry professionals as criminal.
