Mangaluru, Sep 24: U T Khader, district-in-charge minister released the promo of upcoming Konkani serial 'Cholie Chotrai' produced by 'Mogachim Lahran Creations' at Cascia hall on Sunday, September 23.
The serial will be directed by Vincent fernandes Cascia and written by Clarence Pinto Padil.
Ivan D’souza, MLC, J R Lobo, former MLA, Fr Onil D’Souza, director, St Antony's Ashram, Jeppu, Fr Herold Mascarenhas, parish priest, Cascia church, Walter Nandalike, founder, Daijiworld media group, Roy Castelino, former president, Karnataka Konkani Sahitya Academy, Br Joseph Crasta, founder, Snehalaya, Anil Lobo, Fermai, chairman, MCC Bank, Praveen Tauro, Marketing Manager, Daijiworld, and Alwyn D’Souza, Paneer, president, Congress minority wing, Ullal, were the chief guests.
Releasing the promo, U T Khader said, “We all know the selfless service of Snehalaya. It is a shelter for mentally ill and destitute. The mission of Snehalaya upholds humanity. Brother Joseph is the role model for those who actually wish to give back to society by doing something good. Very few people are interested in taking care of others. Vincent Fernandes and his team took a decision to help Snehalaya through a serial. By coming up with a serial, he contributes to society in two ways. Firstly he is supporting the noble cause and secondly he is patronizing the art and artistes. The serial will be a big hit there is no doubt.”
Ivan D’souza said, "In Konkani producing a film or a serial is not an easy job. It is a challenge for Vincent and his team to produce 'Cholie Chotrai'. It is an entertainer. Apart from entertainment, the producers have a good intention that is their desire to help needy through Snehalaya. I appreciate their move and wish all the best for the entire serial team.”
Walter Nandalike addressing the gathering, said, "Vincent is a treasure of talents. By his 'Mogachim Lahran' team, he organised many programmes and gave opportunity to many talents. I had attended his programmes. Every programme shows his dedication and commitment. I am happy that he is producing and directing this new Konkani serial. I wish his team all success."
Floyd D’Mello Cascia, founder member of ‘Mogachim Lharam’, Mangaluru unit, welcomed the gathering and briefed about ‘Mogachim Lahran’.
