Marathi films have witnessed an unprecedented success in the recent times. One of the major reasons that contributed to this success is a very, very controlled budget despite having a plethora of stars, on board. We exclusively connected to superstar Swwapnil Joshi, who talked at length about the success of his recent Marathi film and discussed his upcoming project, Sushila-Sujit.
This year, Marathi Cinema has already delivered 97 feature films. Discussing the success of these films, the Navra Maza Navsacha 2 actor said, “I think I am extremely proud of being a part of that journey. Whenever you talk very humbly, I feel that I am one of the people responsible for this. It is extremely important for me to be saying it, but the numbers speak for themselves. Two of the biggest hits this year have been my films.”
Talking about his upcoming film Sushila-Sujit, Swwapnil Joshi, said, “This is a film that I am also producing and acting. So, the two films that I spoke about did very well, the one I was only producing and the other I only acted in. But now, I think for the first time, I am acting and producing the film at the same time. And then having somebody as talented as Sonali Kulkarni in the lead. I would not call it a hero-heroine film in the sense that they are not paired opposite each other. If you look at the two castings, there is a definite age gap between them. It is a slice-of-life film. Marathi Cinema explores something a normal conventional Hindi film doesn’t.”

Do Budgets Impact The Success Of A Film?
When asked about the huge budgets of films other regional industries work on as compared to the humble budgets of Marathi films, Swwapnil Joshi was quick enough to categorically emphasize the success and failure of a film. He said, “I always feel that the film doesn’t get a hit or a loss. The budget of the film gets a hit or a loss.”
Will Swwapnil Joshi Make Hindi Comeback?
The actor, while agreeing that the lines of Cinema are blurring and we are collectively turning into Indian Cinema rather than Hindi, Punjabi, Marathi, or South Indian Cinema, talked about doing a Hindi project. “There is nothing that I don’t want to do. But I wouldn’t want to do that to tick a box. Because, like you rightly said, the lines are blurring. Now, it is as much fun to do Marathi content as it is to do Gujarati content. So, as long as I get a good role, I am happy doing what I do. If a great role comes to me in a Hindi film or a Hindi web show, I would love to. I am open to it.”
