Prasad Oak shared a fascinating new poster today on his Instagram that answers the long-lingering question, who will play the role of Hirkani? His poster shows the apsara of M-town, Sonalee Kulkarni in and as Hirkani.
This October 24, you will witness one of the biggest chapters of history being retold on the silver screen. A milkmaid at Shivaji Maharaj’s coronation fort Raigad, Hirkani was a mother of an infant. One night she couldn’t leave the fort before the gates closed. Concerned about her infant already sick, she risked her life and reputation and climbed down the only unguarded side of the fort which had a steep mountain that no man could dare to climb. Hirkani climbed it down with her bare hands and feet to save her wailing child.
Her valour and courage is honored with the title 'Hirkani' by the most courageous emperor Shivaji Maharaj. Shivaji Maharaj even named that mountain wall as Hirkani Kada after her and built up a wall over it for safety.
The Marathi industry is proud that Prasad Oak and his talented team has resolved to narrate this incident with their best. The curiosity that lingered for more than a few weeks now is finally over, we know the actress who will play the role of Hirkani.
Prasad Oak and team hosted a grand unveiling event in Chatuhshrungi Mandir, Pune wherein the presence of Pune’s fans gathered to discover the great mystery.
