Rajesh Khanna’s Anand’ to be made in Marathi!

The Hindi film ‘#Anand’, directed by #HrishikeshMukherjee, released in 1971, won the hearts of the fans. The character played by Rajesh Khanna in this film became immortal in the hearts of the fans even after his death. #AmitabhBachchan’s role in it was also very popular. That is why even today, when this film is broadcast on television, the audience watches it with interest. The beloved ‘Anand’ of the fans will now come forward in a Marathi version. Vighnaharta Films has taken the oath of making the film ‘Anand’ in Marathi. The Marathi film ‘Anand’ has been announced on the occasion of Rajesh Khanna’s birthday on December 29.

Producer Dilip Shetty will produce the film under the banner of Vighnaharta Films. Hemantkumar Mahale, who has always directed music-oriented content-rich films, will direct the film. Hemantkumar Mahale, who is world famous as a ‘showman organizer’ in the orchestra world, has won 444 Best National and International awards in a year, out of which 106 awards are for direction alone, and this is a world record. This has been taken into account by the ‘India Book of Records’, ‘Asia Book of Records’ and ‘World Record University’. When Hrishikesh Mukherjee went to Nashik after the release of ‘Anand’, he requested Kusumagraj to watch ‘Anand’ with him. Not only this, Mukherjee also requested Kusumagraj to adapt ‘Anand’ into a play after watching the film. Then, cultivating his poetic talent on the story of a hero who spends his twilight years in a faint haze, Kusumagraj wrote a magnificent play called ‘Anand’. The Marathi ‘Anand’ is based on this play.

Although some changes will be made in ‘Anand’ according to the preferences of Marathi fans and the changing times, the original core will be kept the same. Director Hemantkumar Mahale has indicated that Marathi ‘Anand’ will continue where the Hindi film ended. He said that the dialogues and poems of Kusumagraj will be used appropriately in the film. The look of ‘Anand’ will be changed using modern technology. Melodious music will be combined with eye-pleasing dance. The innovation of Marathi films will be preserved by changing the places of songs in the plot. Some new characters and scenes will also be included. The introduction of the heroine of ‘Anand’ will be a surprise package. An exciting scene will be added at the end of the film. Apart from this, Mahale also said that ‘Anand’ will be shot at picturesque locations.

Which actor will play the role of ‘Anand’ played by Rajesh Khanna and who will play Dr. Bhaskar Banerjee i.e. Babumoshai played by Amitabh who supported him? The answers to these and many other questions will come to light after the selection of the actors. In ‘Anand’, the late actor Ramesh Dev played the role of Dr. Prakash Kulkarni. It will also be important to see which actor gets that character in this film. Therefore, selecting the actors is a big difficult task before the film team. Suresh Suvarna is the ace DOP of the film while Nilesh Choudhary is the Art Director of the film. Music for the film will be designed by Avinash-Vishwajeet the leading music of the Marathi Cinema.
