In 2010, Sankha was selected to participate in the Berlinale Talent Campus (Berlin Film Festival). “I learned a lot not only from the mentors, but also from my peer group. That inspired me to start making my own film. In the same year, I started shooting Dui Dhuranir Golpo. Finally, it was completed after two years,” he said.
