Assam’s fictional superhero Advitya all set to hit the screens in fancy outfit without mask

Director Arindam Sharma had to reshoot after losing footage of 2019 film

In a world of virus-induced breathlessness, the first Assamese superhero will be without a mask, unlike most of his popular Hollywood counterparts. But Advitya, revived two years after a digital accident prevented him from hitting the screens, will sport a special costume this time as he takes on the supervillain in a fancy outfit. Director Arindam Sharma expected to release Advitya – a Sanskrit word for the Sun – soon after uploading a teaser on social media in June 2019. A multiple system snag made him lose the edited film and all the backup footage, putting him through a phase of an emotional and financial crisis.
