As a child, everyone has a dream of becoming a superhero, but hardly anyone is able to fulfil that dream. But some people especially actors from the film world, get a chance to fulfil this dream in a small way, by playing superhero on celluloid. One such actor who is fortunate enough to do so, is Shreyas Talpade. He ended his seven year hiatus from marathi films, to do this superhero Vigilante film, Baji, that transcends both folklore and present times.

At, Sunny Super Sound, Juhu, Mumbai, a theatrical trailer launch and “Poshter” unveiling event happened, which was well attended by media, print, digital and electronic, and film fraternity including Aadinath Kothare, Sachin Kundalkar, Sanjay Chhabria. One of the producers, Suhrud Godbole welcomed the attendees and introduced a battery of producers, viz. Vivek Rangachari, Amit Ahirrao, Nikhil Mahajan and the key cast of the film, viz. Shreyas Talpade, Amruta Khanvilkar, Jeetendra Joshi. Director of Baji, Nikhil Mahajan who has directed critically acclaimed‘Pune 52′ earlier, candidly admitted that this film is a family entertainer and not meant for film festival circuit.

He said “We started shooting in Jan.’14 and have shot extensively in Konkan region of Maharashtra, Malvan and some parts in Mumbai. It’s an entertaining movie with loads of special effects. Also it has got swashbuckling action, but unfortunately Shreyas was injured innumerable times.” Vivek Rangachari thanked the entire crew and cast of the film on behalf of all the producers as he thought it was tough shooting this movie.

Shreyas Talpade, who was looking extremely fit, confessed to have agreed to do this film because of its genre of superhero which he never attempted earlier. He said “The moment I read the one-line I agreed to do this movie. I was informed about the stunts well in advance and I was prepared mentally and managed to have required physical look of the character. Even Jeetu (Jeetendra Joshi) has worked a lot on his physique, you can see the results on screen.” As a surprise element Shreyas introduced a young girl, actually a youngest swimmer to have swam across 4 oceans and 8 seas, Bhakti Sharma, who is planning to swim across Antartica ocean in freezing cold in a few months from now. He lauded her efforts and said that the whole team of Baji is supporting her cause, financially and otherwise as they think, she is a ‘real life Baji’.

This action, romance, adventure filled superhero film Baji is produced by DAR Motion pictures along with Virtue Entertainment, IME Motion Pictures and Blue Drop Films which will release all over Maharashtra and a few other select parts in India on 6th February 2015.
