Dr.Mohan Agashe is the happiest man today. His own production ‘Astu’ did win 2 national awards and about 25 other awards. But, could not see its proper release in theatres across Maharashtra, two years ago. This has not happened with a film like ‘Astu’, but many other award winning films. But, when there is a will, there is a way. Dr. Agashe seriously felt that his film should reach out to maximum people. His efforts worked in this film’s favour. ‘Astu’ is now releasing  in a big way, in Mumbai and all over Maharashtra on coming Friday 15^th July 2016.

MarathiMovieWorld.com spoke to Dr. Mohan Agashe, during the press show of this film on Wednesday  evening, when he joined the media persons along with lead actress of the film Irawati Harshe, during the break. “We showed this film to many renowned personalities. Special screenings were organized at many universities. There were special shows for select people, who came forward to with their contributions. In Thane, we had organized a show, at the request of Dr.Anand Nadkarni and  the special invitees contributed an amount of Rs. 22,000/- in just one screening. Such good response from the audience, helped us a lot, to distribute the film at theatres,” said Mr. Agashe.

Irawati Harshe who is playing the lead role in this film, has already bagged few awards for her performance in this film. When asked about her progress  on television and films, she said,” I am not doing television any more. But, my five more  films are complete with shooting.”
