A: Besides good story, my film also has commercial value, as I have tried to entertain the audience, through various other characters through this film. In this film, you will find the importance of different parts of Mumbai, covered in the screenplay and at the same time the characters, who are so helpful to others. Moreover, it’s a musical entertainer.

Q: Veena Jamkar plays a mentally challenged girl in this film. Have you come across any such character in your life?

Q: Promotion of the film plays an important role in film’s success. After ‘Tapaal’ what precautions have you taken to promote ‘Lalbaug Chi Rani’?
A: This time, our team really worked very hard to promote our film. One of the methods we adopted was to make short films with a message , to promote this film and it is working very well on social network media. Even otherwise, we are going places to promote this film and interacting with people all over Maharashtra.
