A Marathi sci-fi flick Phuntroo that is set in a campus, the
film is an urban tale of a youngster who finds love in the most unexpected of
places. The film has released this weekend and has managed to find good
critical and commercial response coming its way. Directed by Sujay Dahake, the
film marks the entry of producer Krishika Lulla into the world of Marathi movies.
"This is a new market for me as a sci-fi romantic love
story and that too in Marathi has never been seen before. There is good 45
minutes of VFX in the film," tells Krishika, who has films like Tanu Weds Manu
Returns, NH10 and Raanjhanaa to her credit as a producer, "A lot of hard
work has gone into making the film."
The film stars Madan Deodhar and Ketaki Mategaonkar, popular
names in Marathi cinema and has a unique stage, setting and story as its
strengths.
"Making a film in Marathi is very different from
telling the same story in Bollywood," Krishika adds, "You need to
understand Marathi audience and gauge what is it that they like or dislike.
Like for example they don't like Hindi words mixed in dialogues or even songs.
We had to go through a different vision in order to make Phuntroo reachable for
the Marathi audience. It was very challenging, more so since nothing like this
has been ever attempted in Marathi cinema before."
Krishika is also gearing up for the release of her next Marathi
film which is fascinatingly titled & Zara Hatke. This isn't all as she is
currently also busy with her two Hindi films - Banjo (Riteish Deshmukh,Nargis
Fakhri) and Happy Bhaag Jaayegi (Abhay Deol, Diana Penty).
