Will Gajendra Ahire’s ‘Nilkanth Master’ inspire youth?
It is not necessary that the biopics on the lives of great personalities only inspire youth. If the script is strong, then the characters presented through the film, can also inspire today’s youth. Film maker Gajendra Ahire has tried this experiment through his forthcoming Marathi film ‘Neelkanth Master’, which is scheduled for release on 7th August 2015, all over Maharashtra.
Recently, the first look of this film was released in Pune, in presence of Music director duo – Ajay Atul; when besides director Gajendra Ahire, the female artistes of this film Pooja Sawant and Neha Mahajan were also present. The film talks about the values and shows how for the love of country, a youth sacrifices his own love. Omkar Govardhan has played the lead role in this film, produced by Meghamala Baliram Pathare. The music is by Ajay Atul, which assures good quality music.
