‘Zollywood’ receives appreciation in France Film Fest with Jury award

Young film maker Trushant Ingle  has made a Marathi film ‘Zollywood’ which is set on the backdrop of popular tent house dramas performed in Vidarbha region. Good news for him is that this film has received Special Jury award at the Indian festival of Toulas 2020 in France. This film has been produced by Wishberry Films and has been presented by Dukes Farming Films and Amit Masurkar. Incidentally, Amit Masurkar who had earlier directed films like ‘Newton’ and ‘Sulemani Keeda’ is the creative producer of this film.

It may also be recalled that director Trushant Ingale had made his acting debut as a child artiste through Zadepatti stage plays. Though Zadepatti   stage plays which are very popular in Vidarbha, are not known to people living in other parts of Maharashtra and therefore making a film on this theatre art was a big challenge for the director, who came to Mumbai at the age of 16 to do something creative in this industry. This is his debut film and therefore this award comes as a big boost to his career. Trushant wishes to release his film after the film industry returns to normal
