While speaking about the Online promotion, Mr. Jitendra More felt that many Marathi artistes and technical people are not aware of the importance and benefits through online promotion. “ Today when Englsih and Hindi film makers are making maximum use of internet for the promotion of their films, its high time that our Marathi film makers realize the importance of this media. Online promotion does not limit to hosting a website of the film or opening a page on social networking sites; but it is all about reaching out to maximum people by engaging them with the film. Marathi Movie World.com has been offering all such facilities, besides presenting regular features on Marathi film industry , theatre and TV. Now, it’s all up to the film makers, to make use of our offerings, “ he said.
