Made with the financial help of friends and family members, the film Sheeshmahal captures the authentic flavour of the festival.Sheeshmahal takes an independent look at the experiences of participants from different states. “The best way to capture the real flavour of the fest was to shoot the film during the fest itself; no amount of set designing can replicate the mood. The atmosphere itself lends to a very good mood-building scene,” says the director of the movie Sarath Kumar (popularly known as Sashi).
