Vidarbha region in Maharashtra is known for producing talented stage artistes through ‘Zadipatti’ a hub created at places like Gadchiroli, Chandrapur, Bhandara, Gondia and part of Nagpur district . For the past 60 years the tradition of tent theatre has flourished in these areas where budding artistes get an opportunity to showcase their talent. These stage plays  which are  good form of entertainment in remote areas, receive a very good response from people who gather at such places in large number.

Set on the backdrop of this Zadipatti, forthcoming Marathi film ‘Zollywood’ presents the story in the lives of these ‘Zadipatti’ artistes.  Produced by Wishberry Films and Directed by Trushant Ingale the film shows the plight of these stage artistes, in an entertaining manner.

It may also be recalled that director Trushant Ingale had made his acting debut as a child artiste through Zadepatti stage plays. Though Zadepatti   stage plays which are very popular in Vidarbha, are not known to people living in other parts of Maharashtra and therefore making a film on this theatre art was a big challenge for the director, who came to Mumbai at the age of 16 to do something creative in this industry. This is his debut film and therefore this award comes as a big boost to his career. Trushant wishes to release his film after the film industry returns to normal
