Assam's National award winning filmmaker Rima Das has been included in the list of GQ's 50 'Most Influential Young Indians of 2018'.

Sharing the news on her Facebook, Rima said, "Happy and honoured to be included in GQ's 50 most influential Young Indians 2018"

"Watching films like Pather Panchali, I was struck by the simplicity and realness of these stories from different lands. I thought I could do that too, and that way, create roles for myself," Das told GQ.

It should be noted that Rima's Village Rockstars bagged awards in four categories at the 65th National Film Awards besides several other national and international awards. It is also India's official entry for the Oscars 2018.
