Popular Marathi & Bollywood actress of 90’s Ashwini Bhave migrated to USA after her marriage. But, her bonding with Marathi films is still strong. Ashwini Bhave made a comeback with her own production ‘Kadachit‘ in 2007 and later played Judge for a reality show and also performed in film ‘Aajcha Diwas Majha‘, finding some time during her vacation in India. Now, Ashwini is playing the most important character in forthcoming Marathi film ‘Dhyanimani‘, which is based on Prashant Dalvi’s play with the same name.

Mahesh Manjrekar’s The Great Maratha Entertainment and co producers Smita Thackeray, Amolalkh Singh, Iqbalsingh Gakhal and Rajesh Banga are producing this film, which is directed by Chandrakant Kulkarni. On Friday evening the makers of this film had hosted a party to release the first look of this film. In the beginning a promotional video was shown in which Salman Khan, Sunil Barve and Priya Bapat appealed to the audience not to watch this film, if they were looking for entertainment in the form of item number and comedy but welcomed all those film lovers, who were interested in watching a sensible film with a good subject.

Later, speaking about this unusual campaign, actor –film maker Mahesh Manjrekar stated that they didn’t want to keep the audience in the dark and hence thought of making this type of appeal, so that only those interested in such sensible subjects, would watch this film. The film is all set to release on 10th February 2017 all over Maharashtra, besides being simultaneously released in Digital format all over the world, through Pratik Shelar’s company. It will be the first Marathi film, to release in this format.

Speaking on this occasion Ashwini Bhave for all praise for Mahesh Manjrekar and Chandrakant Kulkarni. “I am glad that they found me suitable for this role, which is the best role in my acting career so far,” she said. “I trust Chandu, who is also my good friend. He has terrific sense while presenting the relationship on screen. I could learn new things, through this role, which is worth mentioning. I am confident that the Marathi film lovers would appreciate this film,” she added. Others who spoke on the occasion were Abhijit Khandkekar, Chandu Kulkarni, co producer Smita Thackeray and producer Medha Manjrekar.
