In spite of successful commercial hits Marathi cinema is still facing problems. The reality is that a majority of the Marathi films are facing the issue of availability of screens, and not getting proper time slot for screening. Though the multiplexes, under the guidelines from authorities, allow Marathi films to be screened, steep ticket prices and odd show timings deter Marathi viewers to watch films there. Efforts are being made by many well wishers of Marathi cinema to sort out the problems faced by an average Marathi film producer.
Now, One of the leading actors of Marathi film industry, Makarand Anaspure has come up with an idea to benefit the parties concerned. He has reportedly, approached the State Government and the Municipal Corporation with a proposal, to utilise the free time-slots of drama theatres for marathi film screenings. This way, both, the drama theatre owners and film producers, will be benefitted financially, which in turn can cut down the ticket price drastically, as not every marathi cine-goer can afford the multiplex ticket prices.

The positive response from the authorities, will certainly benefit Marathi film industry.
