Riteish Deshmukh on his directoral debut in Marathi cinema

Riteish Deshmukh, in discussing his directorial debut, acknowledged his attraction to the filmmaking process. In an interview with the local Indian news agency, he stated, “This (direction) is something I was attracted to for many years but didn’t have the courage to do it because I was acting. In the last three-four years, I was trying to figure out…”

Deshmukh, who has previously appeared in Marathi films such as Mauli and Lai Bhaari, said, “Even the film that I have directed ‘Ved’ is something that worked out itself for me.”

Riteish Deshmukh on Marathi Cinema Vs Hindi Cinema

Riteish Deshmukh elaborated on how Marathi films face substantial competition from Hindi films.

“It is tough for Marathi cinema to survive with Hindi cinema in the same state when the first preference is to watch Hindi over Marathi cinema. When Marathi movies become a second choice, their theatre share invariably goes down,” Deshmukh said.

Deshmukh stated that Marathi Cinema must work on aspects to enhance cinema attendance, stating, “We have to figure out how to attract (audiences). Maharashtra has 12 crore population, I believe 9-10 crore will be a Marathi-speaking audience.”
“We are able to tap into that substantial base with very few films. Like, Sairat did brilliantly. Lai Bhaari, Natsamrat, these films reached the maximum audience. But we need more such films, we need two films every year,” he added.

Deshmukh made his OTT debut with Plan A Plan B, starring alongside actress Tamannaah Bhatia. The picture debuted on Netflix a month ago.
