.“Our shoot ended at 10 pm and around midnight, I got to know that his condition was not good. He was shooting for a scene where he is going through a heart attack.

President of Odia cine artistes’ association, Sritam Das informed that Mishra complained about chest pain towards the end of the shooting. “But he thought it was due to gastric problem.
