Teaser Poster of Marathi Film ‘Avliya’ on Shri Shankar Maharaj Unveiled
The teaser poster of the upcoming Marathi film ‘Avliya’, based on the life of the revered saint Shri Shankar Maharaj, was officially launched recently by BJP Maharashtra State President, Mr. Chandrashekhar Bawankule, on the occasion of Maharaj’s Samadhi day.
Produced under the banner of JayShankar Productions, the film is written and directed by Shashi Chandrakant Khandare, known for his award-winning film “Gypsy”. This film is prodiced by BJP leader Rajendra (Aba) Shilimkar.
Shri Shankar Maharaj, a spiritual luminary from the 1800s to 1947, is known not only for his miraculous deeds but also for his profound scientific outlook. While most works focus solely on his miracles, ‘Avliya’ aims to portray a deeper and more holistic view of his life — one that blends spirituality with wisdom and rational thought.
The film promises to shed new light on the legendary saint’s divine acts and his message of inner growth beyond mere supernatural phenomena. The cast details will be revealed soon, director Shashi Khandare confirmed.
