Producer Shekhar Pathak had recently held a Cocktail Dinner Bash in Hotel Citylight in Mahim (W) Mumbai to announce the release date of his most awaited multistarrer Marathi movie namely Shreya Films Pvt Ltd’s Shashan. It has been directed by Gajendra Ahire, who could not make it to the function as he had to rush out of town to attend an award ceremony in which he was one of the awardee.
The bash of Shashan was one of the best that has been organised recently and certainly not the overcrowded affair that filmy bashes are certainly synonymous with. Right at the outset Producer Shekhar Pathak took to the dais and averred, “Basically I am hailing from a theatre background having acted in many plays. And one fine day I thought of making a film and I thought why not make a Marathi film. So I got myself associated with the movie Shashan, albeit a little late in the day. But I am now most happy & contented producer as Shashan is now complete & ready to hit the celluloid silver screen. I am really happy to be a part of this multistarrer Marathi movie starring such stalwarts & erstwhile actors like Makarand Anaspure, Jitendra Joshi, Bharat Jadhav, Siddharth Jadhav, Manava Naik, Aditi Bhagwat, Wrinda Gajendra, Vikram Gajendra, Kiran Karmakar, Mohan Joshi Vinay Apte, Sudhir Dalvi, Nagesh Bhosale, Milind Shinde, Anjali Walsangkar, Amey Dhare, Ravindra Berde, Javarkar & above all Dr. Sreeram Lagoo.”
Shekhar Pathak continued further by adding a few more nuggets of Marathi movie Shashan, “All the artistes of Shashan are eminent names of the Marathi film industry, you name it and they are there. It was a sheer pleasure to work with all of them. And a special thanks to Dr. Shreeram Lagoo for being amidst us, if only for a day’s cameo. In fact none of the actors mentioned above has a full – fledged running role but everyone has a meaningful role which they have performed brilliantly without any grudge or grouse. In fact Shashan doesn’t offer you any story as such but it just mirrors the political scenario of the present times. what more can I say? But do make it a point to see Shashan when it releases on the 15th of January, 2016. As right now I am just keeping my heart, my fingers & my toes crossed so that Shashan succeeds beyond imagination in entertaining the urban as well as the rural audiences all over. One last word Shashan has been produced under the banner of Shreya Films Pvt Ltd, a banner that has been named after my daughter Shreya. Period!!!”
