Riteish Deshmukh to star in and produce Marathi film 'Mauli'
Actor Riteish Deshmukh has started work on his next Marathi venture titled "Mauli", after his successful acting debut in Marathi cinema with "Lai Bhaari" in 2014. "Mauli" is produced by Riteish and his wife Genelia's production house, Mumbai Film Company. It is written by Kshitij Patwardhan and will be directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, who collaborated with Riteish on his last production venture, "Faster Fene".
I wanted to experiment with various genres, says Riteish
"As an actor, I always wanted to experiment with various genres and thankfully in the last few years, I have got the opportunity to do so," Riteish said in a statement. "'Lai Bhaari' made me believe I could attempt action drama genre and after I read the script of 'Mauli', I knew I was ready for my second Marathi film," the actor said.
Mauli is one of the ambitious films produced, says Genelia
Mauli is one of the most ambitious films produced by both of them, Genelia said. "With 'Mauli' going on floors now, we will also be making a few more exciting announcements very soon," the actress added.
