In the coming months the world will see 13-yearls old Rainbow child, S. Maria in “Poorna” a film on youngest mountaineers who scaled Mount Everest made by renowned actor turned film maker and social activist Rahul Bose. A bright, active resident of Aman Vedika Rainbow Home, Musheerabad, Maria was born in Hanumakonda village of Warangal, Maria grew up in children’s home in Bangalore where she studied till class 7. Due to a sudden twist of destiny, she found herself in some unfortunate circumstances on the streets. She was found by the social mobilisation team of the Rainbow Homes and was invited to the Aman Vedika Rainbow Home. Maria shares,“During shooting, I enjoyed a lot because I never got a chance to act in a movie. I feel lucky to have met Rahul Bose and feel very happy to have played an important role in the film. There are so many child marriages happening, hope after watching the film they will become aware of how wrong this is. I am filled with excitement and waiting for the film to be released.”.
