Later the guests including Nisha Maxim lighted the traditional auspicious lamp and inaugurated the programme.

Maxim greeted all the audience for supporting him and being part of the event. He shared some of his earlier lighter moments and said that he and Joseph Mathias would speak in Tulu most of the time they meet. Hence a thought came to his mind as to why not he can make a movie in Konkani-Tulu mixed language, and the result was this movie.

Maxim said that both these regional languages need to be saved and lifted at this point of time as people seldom care to promote. Hence a small effort is being made by him through this movie and requested all to support him in this cause.

Maxim added that his movie is packed with suspense, comedy, action, good music and brilliant story line while some of the Tulu Film stalwarts like Roopesh Shetty, Arvind Bolar, Bhojaraj Vamanjoor and Gopinath Bhat have acted along with the some of the famous actors of Konkani field. He also said that once the censor is done, he is planning to release the movie all over on April 21. He requested all to support him. He also thanked all those helped him in the release of trailer including the media representatives and expected the same support during release.

Soon Nisha Maxim handed over the audio of ‘Ashem Zalem Kashem’ to Walter Nandalike who released the audio and distributed the copies to all the guests. After the photo session the much awaited trailer of the said movie was launched and Sarvotham Shetty clicked the button while the trailer appeared on the screen. The audience cheered and applauded after seeing the trailer of their much awaited movie which is almost ready for release.

Walter Nandalike stated that a revolution in Konkani Film has been started and that it is being inspired by the Tulu Film fever which started with ‘Oriyardu Oriye Asal’ film. There are so many Tulu films being released recently and so have Konkani Movies with the recent release of ‘Kazar’ and ‘Ek Aslyar Ek Na’ both by Frank Fernandes and ‘Noshibacho Khel’ by Henry D’Silva.

Walter also said that Maxim is a not only a dedicated person but also a perfectionist. He promised support from Daijiworld.

Walter said that the hero of the movie Roopesh Shetty has dubbed his voice in Konkani himself though he is a non-Konkani speaker and which no one can make out with the outcome which has come out so perfect. “Since there are so many well-known Tulu artiste in this movie in important roles and art supporter, singer and actor Joseph Mathias is also there in the movie, one can surely say that the movie is going to be a hit.” he added. 

Sarvotham Shetty spoke on the movie release and said that this is a good initiative by Maxim as he has made the movie targeting both Konkani and Tulu crowd. He also said that all Tulu and Konkani Community people will definitely support this movie and make it a hit.
