Badiger Devendra's 'Vanya' Highlights Oppression, Aims for December Release
Imagine a movie about a dad and his daughter who live in a forest.
They have to fight bad guys, like people who want to cut down all the trees, and sneaky politicians.
This movie, called 'Vanya,' is about standing up for what's right and protecting your home.
The director wants to show what happens when people are treated unfairly and forced to leave.
The film also talks about how different life is in a city compared to living in nature.
It's like watching a story about good versus evil, where the good guys fight to protect their forest and their way of life.

'Vanya' is inspired by a 2010 magazine article and stars Vaijanath Biradaras and Meghana Belawadi.
