Jai Jai Maharashtra Majha
After releasing the Music CD of the film Mr. Gautam Joglekar appealed to Mr. Uddhav Thackeray to come for the premiere of the film to be held on the occasion of Maharashtra day and the shrewd politician quickly responded, “If I am invited, I will surely come.” Thankfully, there were no speeches on the occasion and even the bouquet presentations were restricted to the chief guests-Mr. Thackeray and Mr. Aniruddha Deshpande, Managing Director of City Corporation. Mr. Deshpande belongs to Amanora Group, who are the main sponsors of this film, as indicated by Gautam Joglekar. Sanjay Ghodavat Group are presenting this film, which also has many co sponsors.

Before the release of music, the hosts had arranged the first look of the film, when during screening of one song on leading lady Anusha Dandekar, they offered a surprise. To complete the song on the screen, Anusha with few dancers appeared on the stage and performed the dance live, only to receive a laud applause from the invitees. Prior to this show, when Mr. Uddhav Thackeray arrived with his wife and was asked to occupy his seat in the first row, he noticed Ms. Sai Paranjape on the other side. He immediately approached the veteran film maker, to wish her and spent few minutes with her.

‘Jai jai Maharashtra’ is a tale of a young girl Ashwini, who is adopted by an American couple at the age of 4, from an orphanage in Pune. After becoming a Top tennis player in the world, she returns to India only to offer donation to the Orphanage. Her trip is sponsored by Mohite family from Kolhapur and they depute their son Vishal (Hemmant Dhome) to receive her at Mumbai airport. On her journey to Mumbai-Pune-Kolhapur and back on the same track, she comes across many people including a photo-Journalist – Rajat (Siddharth Chandekar), a couple Dilip and Amruta Rege (Mahesh Manjrekar and Mrunal Kulkarni) and many others.

During her stay at these places, Ashwini is highly impressed by the culture and loves all the places she visits. The director has cleverly picturised a song on Pune city to highlight the rich heritage of the historical place. The music for this song has been specially composed by Yashwant Deo. There are total four Music directors for this film including Gautam himself for one song, besides Ajit Parab and K.C. Loy, the official Music director.

Speaking to Marathi Movie world after the function, Gautam said that he would release the film in May after the 2 premiere shows to be held on 30th April and 1st May respectively. About the selection of Anush Deshpande for the lead role, he said that there was no other girl, to meet the requirements of this role.
