In 1982, Devon Avenue in Chicago was an area ruled by Bengalies. Arif Choudhury

they get revenge on Sikander Saab? Who will climb the mountain and become the
King of Devon…?
Sadhana Pictures:
Sadhana Pictures is an organization that brings high quality, entertaining
cinema to our growing international audience. Our first feature film production,
Kings of Devon, is a not-for-profit venture seeking to raise funds for the
Shishu Bikash Kendra school in order to provide free food and education to
underprivileged children from the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Sadhana Pictures is raising funds to initiate the Shishu Bikash Kendra
self-sustainability project. This one time fundraising effort is being held in
order to invest $14,000 in a Fixed Deposit, from which the school will be able
to finance its year to year operations based on the interest earned on the
deposit. Thereby, the school will no longer be reliant on the donations of
generous people. Further, Sadhana Pictures is forming a New Generation
Leadership Program in association with Shishu Bikash Kendra in order to get
Bangladeshi youth involved in volunteer opportunities and developing their
leadership skills to create a better tomorrow for Bangladesh.
Channel I (Bangladesh) is the official media partner of Kings of Devon and
Sadhana Pictures. Major sponsors include Signature by Runa Laila, Edward Leonard
of AXAAdvisors and Bella Lounge.
