‘Phulrani’ has been a very popular character over the years on Marathi stage. First it was late Bhakti Barve who presented this character on Marathi stage through the play ‘Ti Phulrani’ written by late P. L. Deshpande which was based on G.B. Shaw’s old famous English play ‘Pygmalion’. We had also seen an American Musical film ‘My Fair Lady’ also based on this English play. And now, Director Vishwas Joshi is all set to begin the shoot of a Marathi film ‘Phulrani …. Avismaraniya Premkahani’ which is also inspired by ‘Pygmalion’. This will be Vishwas Joshi’s second film as a director after ‘Whats App Lagna’.

Recently, the poster of this film was unveiled making official announcement of this film. This film will release its fragrance in theatres this year. The film’s story is written by Guru Thakur along with Vishwas Joshi, while lyrics are penned by Balkavi and Guru Thakur together. Nilesh Moharir will compose music of this film with cinematography by Kedar Gaikwad. Art direction by Santosh Phutane, editing by Guru Patil , choreography by Subhash Nakashe, dress design by Sayali Soman are the other credits of this film. So far, the lead cast of this film has not been disclosed. And therefore, there is a lot of curiosity to know who will play the ‘Phulrani’ on Marathi big screen?
