The story of this film is written by Mrunal’s son Virajas Kulkarni and this will be a Romcom, the favorite subject of actor turned producer Pushkar Jog.

“I guarantee that ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ will be a super hit film” – Rohit Shetty
Known for his ‘Golmaal’ series , Rohit Shetty has offered a new kind of humor to Hindi cinema and the audience have appreciated all his films, be it comedy or action. So, when the music of forthcoming humor filled film ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ was launched in a big way, the makers of this film and presenters Zee Studios could not think of anyone else than Rohit Shetty, to be the chief guest. Accompanied by his favorite actor Shreyas Talpade, Rohit walked towards the dais to join director Sanjay Jadhav in the introductory session of the event. He later released the music CD of this film.
In his short speech he was all praise for the trailer of this film and said, “I guarantee that ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ will be a super hit film.” When asked about his connection with Marathi artistes and Marathi language, Rohit reacted, “I love Marathi films and Marathi culture and my wife is a Maharashtrian. That’s the big connection. I like Marathi artistes, because they have no ego about their talent. I had very good connect with Siddharth, who is in this film, as he worked in my film ‘Golmaal’ Part 1. “ Talking about Marathi films, he said that he had seen ‘Duniyadari’ three times.
All the lead artistes in the film namely Mrunal Kulkarni, Sanjay Narvekar , Siddharth Jadhav, Tejaswini Pandit & Umesh Kamat were introduced by anchor Poorvi Bhave, by asking them individual questions and all of them praised Cinematographer turned director Sanjay Jadhav for his friendly style of working. Shreyas Talpade, who had come as a special invitee narrated an incidence, how producer Amey Khopkar had helped him to find roles in films, during his days of struggle.
From the first look, it appears that ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’ is a mad comedy, full of misunderstandings and set on the backdrop of demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes. This multi starrer film revolves around five individuals, Aditya, Sunny, Bubly, Anna & Janhavi played by Umesh Kamat, Sidhharth Jadhav, Tejaswini Pandit, Sanjay Narvekar & Mrunal Kulkarni respectively, who try to reach respective ends in their life personally and professionally. But, all five of them get into trouble with each other. It’s a good subject suited for a comedy; but it remains to be seen, how the Marathi audience would respond at ticket windows on 5th January 2018, when the film will be released in theatres. However, when Rohit Shetty has assured the film a grand success it means a lot.
The film is presented by Zee Studios, Produced by Om Prakash Bhatt, Swati Khopkar, Sujay Shankarwar, Rajesh Banga and is directed by Sanjay Jadhav. Story by Sanjay Jadhav, dialogues by Arwind Jagtap, cinematography by Pushpank Gawde, and music by Amitraj & Pankaj Padghan are the other credits.

Yesterday afternoon, when the trailer of this film was released, in presence of entire star cast and media persons, certain things became very clear and one of them was that it promises a fresh subject, penned by Mitali Joshi and directed by Prakash Kunte, who had earlier given us a hit film like ‘Coffee Aani Barach Kahi‘.
Before the release of film’s trailer and a song, the young pair of this film Siddharth Menon and Shivani Rangole, introduced themselves, with the names of their respective characters. They then called upon the lead senior pair of this film Indraneil Sengupta & Mrunal Kulkarni, who are playing their respective single parents in the film. In the film the single parents meet each other after a gap of 20 years and their closeness turns into love. They want to live together and hence ask their children for permission to do so. Both the children, who are teenagers also meet each other and the film’s story takes a different turn, which we will come to know, only after watching ‘& Jara hatke‘ film. But, the selection of artistes, seemed to be most appropriate. Now, it remains to be seen, how this fresh subject would appeal to the Marathi film audience.
