Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: Odia boy weaves magic as Assistant Director in Kartik Aaryan starrer horror comedy

Another Odia talent has managed to pave his path into the world of Bollywood. Joining the ranks of distinguished Odia artists working in Bollywood is Sonepur’s young talent Raj Kishore Hota. Having worked as an Assistant Director in Kartik Aaryan’s Diwali blockbuster ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, Hota is definitely making Odisha proud!

Not just Kartik Aaryan, he was also part of Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday’s ‘Dream Girl 2’ that was a huge hit. Coming from a village that got an electricity supply in 2010 to making waves in B-Town, Hota’s journey is a beacon of hope for those who dare to dream big.

Starting his journey as a camera assistant to now becoming an assistant director, Hota is an inspiration for many youngsters who want to make it big in the film industry.

Talking exclusively to OTV, an emotional Hota said, “My village got electricity in 2010. Even having a dream was a sin for us. I had not even watched many films until 2010. Coming from such a situation to working with such legendary actors, a big production house and a big director in Mumbai is nothing short of a dream come true moment for me.”

“I was studying in Bhubaneswar but dropped out. Then, I came to Mumbai and started my career as a camera assistant. Later, I forayed into Television and was part of shows like ‘Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki’, ‘Kasautii…. Zindagi Ki’ and other shows for Star Plus. Then slowly I transitioned into films and worked with films like Dream Girl 2 and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” revealed Hota.

“It is rightly said if there is a will there is a way. I’m very happy to have got the opportunity to work on such a huge-budget movie. Finally, I’m living my dreams,” he added.

He ended the conversation with a wish to work in the Odia film industry and take Odia movies forward.
