Umesh & Girish promise variety through ‘Highway – Ek Selfie Aarpaar’
Many Marathi film makers have travelled on Mumbai Pune Expressway very often. But, none of them thought of making a film on the backdrop of this highway, till writer Girish Kulkarni thought about it. Girish and his long time friend Umesh Kulkarni sat together and they decided to make a film, on a one liner. Their friend Vinay Ganu joined them as a producer and thus the idea of ‘Highway! Ek Selfie Aarpaar’ was born.
Recently, the music release and unveiling of the first look of the film was held in a ceremony, which saw many dignitaries from Marathi film industry and Bollywood. Actually, the star cast and technical team of this film itself is a combination of Marathi and Bollywood artistes and technical people. The film has two Bollywood actresses Tisca Chopra and gorgeous Huma Qureshi, playing important roles, while the music of the film is composed by Amit Trivedi. It was for this reason, both Umesh and Girish Kulkarni spoke in Hindi and Marathi, while delivering their speech, so that their special invitees understood, what they said.
The music of this film was launched by popular music director duo Ajay Atul, while the poster of the film was unveiled by Everest’s Sanjay Chabriya, Esselvision’s Deepak Rajadhyaksha and actress Jyoti Subhash.
