The ‘Being Social’ team has produced an hour-long documentary on philanthropist, freedom fighter and founder of Corporation Bank, the late Haji Abdulla Saheb (1882-1935), who lived in the temple-town of Udupi.
Addressing presspersons here on Saturday, Avinash Kamath, head of the team, said it took the team about a year to produce the documentary. He claimed that this was the first documentary on Haji Abdulla Saheb after 82 years of his death. The documentary focuses on his life and achievements.
“The intention of the documentary is to let the present and future generations know about Haji Abdulla Saheb and what he did for Udupi and its people,” he said.
The script of the documentary was written by Shrikanth Shetty and edited by Nithish Rao, while Shashikanth Shetty has done the camera work. The graphics had been designed by Gururaj B., while Mr. Kamath provided the voice over.
Though the documentary is in English, it had Kannada subtitles. It will be uploaded on YouTube.
The documentary will be released at the Nutana Ravindra Mantapa on the MGM College campus at 5.30 p.m. on Monday.
