Kemmu on his debut feature directorial
Kemmu announced the film in August 2022. Back then, he had written on social media, "It all started with a thought in my head, which grew into a dream which flowed out through my fingers into words on my laptop, and now it's becoming a reality on its way to the silver screen." Interestingly, Kemmu had previously written dialogues for the zombie horror-comedy Go Goa Gone, which he also starred in.
It will clash with 'Swatantra Veer Savarkar'
Madgaon Express will clash with Randeep Hooda's Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, which traces the life of freedom fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Notably, March 22 marks National Martyrs Day. In his press statement last year, Hooda emphasized his commitment to portraying Savarkar in the film. He mentioned facing severe agony and losses, including risking his life by losing 26kg in a month to better suit the title character. Ankita Lokhande co-stars.
