Important Appeal: Filmmaker Hara Patnaik Unwell
Orissacinema.com is deeply aggrieved by the news related to critical health conditions of the ace Ollywood actor and director Hara Patnaik.
Sri Patnaik has been diagnosed having blood cancer and since April 28, he is admitted at the Vellore-based Christian Medical College. At this initial stage, he is being treated with chemotherapy.
Readers should know that the cost of treatments will run into amounts exceeding Rs60 lakhs. It is only desired that those of us who are able and willing should contribute to this cause of medical treatment.
Oriya film fraternity has extended its support towards facilitating donation for Sri Patnaik’s treatment. Orissa Cine Artist Association has informed that several “Ollywood Nite” events are being organized in Orissa to raise funds. Senior artists including Debu Bose, Bijaya Mohanty and Siddhant Mohapatra have addressed the press to make the public appeal and to show solidarity.
Orissacinema.com also requests its readers to contact Mr Bishnu Prasad Patnaik, younger brother of the filmmaker to make any timely contributions as possible, and also to extend moral supports to his family.
