The upcoming Marathi film Chandramukhi has been creating a lot of buzz in the media ever since it’s spectacular songs, and gripping trailer was recently unveiled. As the film comes close to it’s release, producer Akshay Bardapurkar is proud of this film, and wants the audiences to enjoy the grandeur of the larger than life elements of the Adinath Kothare and Amruta Khanvilkar starrer.
Speaking about the film, Akshay said, “Chandramukhi has an extremely large canvas that was mounted fantastically by Prasad Oak and his team. If the buzz generated by the trailer is anything to go by, we’ll stay hopeful about the prospects of the film. This film happened because of Amruta Khanvilkar. If she hadn’t got this project to me I wouldn’t have got the chance to produce a film like this. I feel everything in this industry boils down to destiny. You have to be present at the right place and at the right time. This film wasn’t an easy one to make, with so many big names involved and with the pandemic raging on, closure of theatres, it was a never ending process. I am happy that we are just a few days away from the release and finally the audience will be able to watch Chandramukhi sizzle in theatres.”
Speaking about the future of Marathi cinema, Akshay added, “We need more brave film makers, and we need more producers who can give a free hand to film makers. If that doesn’t happen we will see a massive brain drain and lose out to big OTT platforms. In order to make universal stories we first need to upgrade our film industry’s software. Until that happens, our beautiful content will remain caged and it wont travel at all. I feel every producer should be wary of that and provide freedom rather than grooming.” Chandramukhi will release in theaters on 29th April 2022.
