Eminent film maker Aribam Syam's documentary film titled 'Khumanthem Prakash Singh' has been released on Sunday at the residence of writer Khumanthem Prakash located at Sagolband Meino Leirak.
The film produced by Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi is based on the life and works of renowned writer Khumanthem Prakash.

Speaking at the function, director Aribam Syam Sharma explained that making film based on a personality who is old and in poor health conditions is not easy.
It is fortunate to make film on the life and works of Khumanthem Prakash who has multifaceted personality.
The roles and responsibilities taken by the writer for the society are huge and he also occupies a large space in Manipuri literature, he continued.
While confiding that Sahitya Akademi is taking up steps to make documentary films based on life and works of renowned personalities, he maintained that the initiative is primarily focused on elder ones.
It would be more suitable to make films when they are young and at their peaks, the director opined.
