We have witnessed the influence of South films on Bollywood and have also seen the success attained by such movies. Now, Devendra Chougule has tried to follow the same formula in his forthcoming Marathi film ‘Sambha – Aaajcha Chhava’. The actor- film maker released the music of his film at Kohinoor Hotel, Prabhadevi, when the first look of his film was also released. Present on the occasion were Mahesh Manjrekar (who released the music CD) along with main stars of the film Devendra, Deepali Sayed, Tejashree Khele and music director Shashank Powar.

The film has all the commercial requirements in its screenplay with action packed fight scenes and songs on the lines of south films. Shashank Pawar’s south style music is a something new to Marathi cinema. In fact, the choreographer of this film is Kaladharan, who works with South superstar Nagarjuna. All the stunt scenes have been picturised under the supervision of Anand Raj, who has worked as action director for films like ‘Vrundavan’ and ‘Boss. According to Devendra Chougule, the film has been shot at Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, where he has used latest technology including VFX.

Speaking on the occasion, Devendra Chougule, admitted that he was influenced by South films, because he felt that such commercial formula works better these days. “When you see South based films becoming popular in district places of Maharashtra, why not make a film in Marathi to attract such people? He questioned. Deepali Sayyed was all excited for playing the role of a Journalist in this film. The other girl Tejashree plays the girl friend of the hero. She has already worked in 38 south films and speaks Tamil fluently, being Maharashtrian and born and brought up in Mumbai.

Produced under the banner of Shiv films, the other artistes of the film are, Mohan Joshi, Milind Gunaji, Kuldeep Pawar & Madhu Kambikar. Script by Sanjay Pawar, lyrics by Vaibhav Joshi, background score by Avinash-Vishwajeet, Scene director Sanjay Todkar Editing by Satish Tambe, Art by Satish Bidkar , special effects by Ashtavinayak Media and cinematography by Girish Udale are the other credits.
