‘Tu Cheese Badi Hai Mast Mast’ to go on floors soon

Ashok Kamble talks about his directorial comeback in Bollywood

Director cum producer, Ashok Kamble who switched over to producing Marathi cinema after successfully churning hits in Bollywood is ready for directorial come back with ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast’ starring Riteish Deshmukh and Shreyas Talpade in pivotal roles. He talks about how with corporate funding, the space for independent producers like him is rapidly shrinking and the joy he finds having things his way despite the hiccups.
When asked about the title, ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast’ that mirrors a hit song of the nineties, will there be any copyright issues? To which, he clarifies, “We are ready with the script. I do not think we will have any problem with the title of the film, which is also a song number. We have duly signed the title and will go on the floors in 2014.”
About the cast of the movie, he continues, “We have decided to sign Riteish Deshmukh and Shreyas Talpade for the pivotal roles in this film. The rest of the cast and credit will comprise of new comers. The story line is very intriguing and I am sure this will be a great Hindi come back film for me as a director.”
Having co-produced ‘Ek Ladka, Ek Ladki’, a Salman starrer film in 1991, will you not like to work with him again? And he replied, “Why not? Who will not like to work with Salman Khan? But then he should agree to work with us! Maybe, sometimes in the future if I have a good script for him, I will definitely approach him.”
Reminiscing about how things have drastically changed with corporate funding entering Bollywood, he shares, “Yes! I tried my hand in production, before venturing into direction to know every nuances of filmmaking. In 1992 things had started changing drastically in Hindi film industry with the existence of the corporate world and now it has become difficult for single producers to be able to bring the films to the theaters.” About his switchover to Marathi films, he added, “So, I decided to direct Marathi films –‘Tujha Majhi Aayi’, a multi-starrer woman oriented film with Sonali Kulkarni in the lead. I was the first director to rope in Sadashiv Amrapurkar for a Marathi film as he was very active in Hindi film industry then.”
Talking about the present scenario on theatre bookings as he has released his latest Marathi flick, ‘Majhya Navryachi Baiko’, he shares, “It is really very difficult for Marathi films to sustain as there is a lot of theater hiccups. Especially when big films like ‘Dhom-3’ from big production house releases, the theaters are booked for almost two weeks. Therefore I had to discontinue the shows of ‘Majhya Navryachi Baiko’. However; the film continues its run in the single theatres.” And added, “This is owing to the corporate world we as single producers have to face a lot of problems. But getting my way with mediocre success also makes me feel great.”
