‘Ashtavakra‘ is the first Marathi film which has been shot at the location of Kolhapur Central Jail. And therefore, before its official theatre release on 8th June 2018, the makers of this film and writer- director Pradeep Salunke had specially organised the premiere of this film recently in the Kolhapur Central Jail in presence of jail superintendent Sharad Shelke, Police Chief (Women’s Wing) and 63 Women prisoners.

Speaking about the story of this film writer- director Pradeep Salunke said, “I had read something about the women prisoners and their children. Picking up this theme, I worked hard to elaborate this issue for almost three years, to give a cinematic look to this story. Just imagine, if a pregnant woman is arrested and brought into the jail as a prisoner and she delivers during her jail sentence. The story of ‘Ashtavakra’ has emerged from such an incidence. To make this film more realistic I met these children, whose mothers were undergoing jail sentence and was really stunned. Also studied the jail manual and this helped me a lot during the making of this film.“

The trailer of forthcoming Marathi film ‘Ashtavakra’ has been released on social networking sites and it certainly gives a glimpse of a strong dose to the audience to answer some questions posed to them. The trailer of Ashtavakra explains the meaning of this title and also how does it relate to the present circumstances. Produced by Varunraj Productions, ‘Ashtavakra’ is all set to release across Maharashtra on the 8th June 2018.

Through this film, the life of a woman jail inmate has been projected on the big screen and according to the makers of this film, it highlights an important question from a different world altogether which has not been handled so far. The entire responsibility of story, script, screenplay, dialogues, and direction has been shouldered by Pradeep Salunke, while the film is produced by Mr. Varunraj Salunke. Along with Vidyadhar Joshi and Mayuri Mandlik the film presents new artists such as Mangesh Giri, Veena Arun, Harshada Bamne and Preeti Torne-Koli. Cinematography by Vimal Mishra and music by Chandrodaya Ghosh are the other credits.

Being my venture film, I have created this film with utmost finesse in bringing the scenes alive. As this was also the first film for other artists as well, they have tried their level best in giving justice to the film,” he added.
