Three years ago while unveiling the first look of her film ‘Anuraag’ Mrunmayee Deshpande had announced that soon she will be directing two Marathi films. Incidentally, ‘Anuraag’ was presented by her own production company Mrunmayee Deshpande Creations along with producer-director Dr. Ambarish Darak. One of the two names announced by her that time was ‘Atharavaa Oont’. But later, we didn’t hear much about her progress in direction, though we knew that she played a key role in assisting Dr. Darak, during the making of ‘Anuraag’.

Mrunmayee had inclination towards direction since her college days and she had even directed a play and won the best direction award. And she has been working very hard to achieve her ultimate goal, besides performing variety of roles on big screen through films like ‘Katyar Kaljaat Ghusali’, ‘Natasamrat’,  ‘Mokala Shwaas’, ‘Anuraag’, ‘Farzand’ and the most latest ‘Fatehshikast’ .

Now, we understand that her dream has come true. Mrunmayee will be making her debut in direction through forthcoming Marathi film ‘Mann Fakira’, which stars Suvrat Joshi, Sayali Sanjeev, Anjali Patil in lead roles. Having already proved herself as the most talented actress on stage, television and big screen, this is a big opportunity for Mrunmayee to prove her mettle in the creative field direction. We wish her all the best.
