Joydeep Goswami, affectionately known as JD, embarked on his career as a singer-composer with the album ‘Daastan.’ He gained prominence following the release of his music video ‘Jee Bhar Gaya,’ which received extensive airplay on MTV Indies. Subsequently, he signed with T-Series and achieved tremendous success with the release of his immensely popular single ‘Sun Le bekhabar,’ which served as a pivotal moment in his career. Inspired by this success, he established his own production house, JD Motion Pictures. During the lockdown period, Goswami serendipitously crossed paths with M Durga Prasad, and together, they conceived the idea for ‘Ginti’ (The Countdown), eventually bringing it to fruition.
Goswami not only provided financial support but also played an integral role in the artistic aspects of the production, overseeing various facets with the assistance of an exceptionally talented creative team. ‘Ginti’ promises to be a visual feast, showcasing breathtaking imagery that captures the charm and vibrancy of Jamshedpur, a city that maintains its allure despite rapid urbanization.
The film features a predominantly local cast and crew, adding authenticity and depth to the project. Satyakam Anand, known for his roles in Hindi films like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ and ‘Sherni,’ leads the cast, supported by Vishal Singh, Laique Khan, Shuru Sardar, Adil Izaz, and others. The crew fearlessly pushed their artistic boundaries, with Akhalque Manzar serving as the cinematographer, Bapi Murmu as the editor, Ashish as the music director, Naash94 as the composer, and Hari Pada Mukhi as the art director.
