They are all from Nagpur. It’s a team of producers comprising of Raju Jageshwar Dhidonde, Mangest Madhukarao Pitale and Ad. Raman Laxmanrao Senad , who have come together with their friend – director Salim Shaikh to offer something realistic and concerned with the corruption in medical profession. Only few days back, we saw Aamir Khan exposing certain facts of corruption in medical profession through his programme ‘Satyamev Jayate’. But, this team of passionate film makers have gone into details of corruption in multi-speciality hospitals through their forthcoming film ‘Aghor’ with a tagline- Jeevanacha Jaganyashi Sangharsh.

Speaking at a press conference in Mumbai, director Salim Shaikh made it clear that their film was timely and this topic presented by them was ready with completion of shooting, much before the telecast of Aamir Khan’s programme related to the issue of corruption in medical profession. “Not very long ago, in Nagpur we had come across a case, where in a hospital a dead patient was kept on ventilator for three days. And after some time it came to notice that the hospital authorities were involved in this heinous act. Since then, it was in my mind to make a film on this subject. When my script was ready, adding one more side of corruption in sports, we decided to make a film and that too exclusively shot in Nagpur,” he said.

The film has four songs penned by Pravin Davane on the music of Nandu Honap on the choreograophy of Phulwa Khamkar. Narrating a real incidence in his life on the occasion, Mr. Nandu Honap said that he had himself come across one such incidence, when he was not feeling well. “ I was told by a doctor that my pulse had dropped down to 20 and asked me to get myself admitted to hospital. My son drove me to a nearest nursing home and I was told that I would have to use a pace maker costing around 1.5 lakhs. I contacted my family doctor and narrated the incidence and he told me that with the pulse dropping to 20, I would not have been able to travel to the nursing home in a car. When I went to him, he found my pulse normal. Isn’t this a case of cheating and corruption?” he asked.

The film has three popular stars from Marathi film industry – Santosh Juvekar , Aniket Vishwasrao and Sai Tamhankar; but, all three of them were not present on the occasion. Only Shadab from Nagpur ( who looked like a bodybuilder) the third hero in the film, making his debut; was present and he spoke in Marathi, on behalf of all three of them, indicating that it was a very good film, supported with action. Kishori Shahane Vij, who plays the wife of a honest doctor in this film( played by Ad. Senad himself) said that she really enjoyed working in this film and liked her role, where she turns a protagonist to fight injustice in society by corrupt medical professionals. Dr. Vilas Ujawane, plays the corrupt doctor in this film and he was present at the venue with his son.

Two leading ladies of the film, Tejasvi Patil and Manasi Kulkarni were also present and they expressed their satisfaction about the making of this sensational film. The film is due for release on 24th August 2012. “First three days shows in Nagpur have already been booked in advance, clearly indicating the love and affection the locals have to their own city’s film makers,” announced the director.
