Mangesh & Leena to perform in the second innings of ‘Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahi’
We are all aware that versatile artistes Vikram Gokhale and Reema Lagoo performed in the popular Marathi play ‘Ke Dil Abhi Bhara Nahi’ in the recent past. The play directed by Mangesh Kadam was written by Shekhar Dhavlikar. After 74 shows of this play were performed, Mr. Vikram Gokhale could not continue further, as his doctor had advised him not to deliver louder dialogues on health reasons.
So, the same play will now be performed by ‘Goshta Tashi Gamtichi’ pair Mangesh kadam and Leena Bhagwat. So, they will begin the second innings of this play soon. The play is based on the lives of a retired couple and their emotional feelings. The play highlights the usual concern of the retired man about his pension and meeting day to day expenses. But, it also throws light on the need of understanding each other’s emotional feelings. Along with Mangesh and Leena, the play also stars Chandrashekhar Kulkarni and Bageshree Joshirao. The first show of this revived play will be held on 16th July 2016.

Marathi film ‘Adults Only’ to be shot on iPhone
We had heard about some short films being shot on mobile phones. But, now a Marathi film will be shot on iPhone 6. Film maker Milind Kawade, who has been experimenting new things through his films, is all set to shoot his next film ‘Adults Only’ on iPhone 6. The film is being produced by Amit Dhupe under the banner of his Seven Horse Entertainment. Ajay Thakur who produced films like ‘Taani’ and ‘Phuntroo’, will be creative producer of this film.
Director Milind Kawade whose film ‘1234’ is due for release soon, will begin the shooting of this new film soon. Speaking about the film, he said that the team of this film had done research on the subject of this film for the past six months and it will be a new subject, never before attempted in Marathi. “To present this unique subject, we thought that there was no need to use expensive cameras, as the script itself is strong enough, to capture the attention of audience.” he added.
‘& Jara hatke’ trailer promises fresh subject
Produced by creative film maker Ravi Jadhav and presented by Eros Entertainment, forthcoming Marathi film ‘& Jara hatke‘ had already generated a lot of curiosity about the subject of this film, among Marathi film lovers. 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.
Suhas Joshi, Sonali Anand, Spruha Joshi & Sandesh Kulkarni are the other important artistes in this film. Music by Aditya Bedekar & lyrics by Mahesh Kangane are other credits of the film. The film is all set to release on 22nd July 2016.

Though Sagar Deshmukh and Akshay Tanksale play the lead male roles, the three actresses have equally important characters.
According to the director, all three of them have different types of roles , which will be appreciated by Marathi film lovers. While Mukta is playing an ultra modern girl, Sai is playing a totally contrast character of a simple girl. The character of Parna is playing a modern girl, learning Sanskrit language. Produced by Sanjay Chhabriya and Anish Jog, the film ‘YZ‘ is all set to release on 12th August 2016.
