After his super successful acting debut in Marathi cinema
with Lai Bhaari, Riteish Deshmukh has kick-started his next Marathi venture
titled, Mauli.
Here's a video of the mahurat shot:
An out and out action drama, Mauli is produced by Genelia
and Riteish Deshmukh's production venture - Mumbai Film Company. The film is
written by Kshitij Patwardhan and will be directed by Aditya Sarpotdar who
collaborated with Riteish on his last production venture - Faster Fene. The film was supposed to be earlier directed by Nishikant
Kamat in 2015, however it was put on hold citing creative issues.
Talking about his next Marathi venture as an actor
Riteish says, "As an actor, I’ve always wanted to experiment with various
genres and thankfully, in the last few years, i've had the opportunity to do
so. Lai Bhaari made me believe I could attempt the action drama genre and
after I read MAULI’s script, I knew i was ready for my second Marathi
film."

& writer Kshitij Patwardhan. With Mauli going on floors now, we will also
