He made is debut as a director through a mystery filled Marathi film ‘Sa Sasucha’ two years ago. Now, Kishore Pandurang Belekar is all set to release his second film ‘Yeda’ on the auspicious Ram Navami day i.e. 19th April 2013. On Wednesday evening he revealed the first look of this film to the Press representatives in presence of the artistes of this film. The highlight of this film is that Bollywood actor Ashutosh Rana, known for his portrayal of dangerous characters in films like ‘Dushman’ and ‘Sanghrash’, is playing an eccentric central character of Appa Kulkarni in this film.

Veteran Marathi actor Satish  Pulekar, who plays an important character in this film, was all praise for Ashutosh Rana, not only for his performance but for his sincerity in dubbing his own dialogues in Marathi. “In fact, he made it clear at the time of accepting this role that he would dub his own dialogues in Marathi. And he has really worked hard on his dialogue delivery with the help of the director and dialogue writer and one of the producers- Girish Salvi,” he said.

However, when Ashutosh spoke on this occasion; he preferred to speak in Hindi. He thanked the entire team for their excellent team work and thanked Kishore Belekar for considering him for the role. Others who spoke on the occasion were Aniket Vishwasrao,Pradnya Shastri and one of the producers- Satish More. Actress Kishore Shahane arrived almost at the end of the press conference; as she was held up in the heavy traffic jam in Mumbai, due to pipeline burst in Bandra.
The film’s first look clearly indicates that Ashutosh Rana is now all set to send chill down the spines of Marathi audience, with his terrifying psychic character of Appa Kulkarni. It has however received ‘A’ certification from Censors. The film’s release however coincides with release of other 2-3 Marathi films like ‘Prem Mhanje Prem Mhanje Prem Asata’ and ‘Touring Talkies’.

When asked to comment on this issue, Mr. Belekar said that his production was the first to book the date, six months ago; but, Yeda Marathi Film
others also booked for the same day later. “We were the first to issue advertisement in newspapers, about our release date, much in advance. There is some significance behind releasing this film on this auspicious day. Therefore, we even spoke to other producers, to avoid clashing of dates and availability of sufficient theatres. But, it didn’t work. In fact, there are two Fridays during the following month, when there are no Marathi Movies being released,” he concluded.

By the way, Kishore Belekar has received good response from Inox Multiplex and the film will be released at all Inox theatres, besides other theatres. Moreover, the first look of the film will be shown along with Bollywood film ‘Himmatwala’ at these theatres.
