Shreyas and Deepti Talpade’s Affluence Movies Pvt. Ltd. today
announced that it had joined hands with DAR Motion Pictures, the producers of
acclaimed films such as Lalbaug Parel, Teecha Baap
Tycha Baap, Ugly, Lunchbox, D-Day, Haunted 3D, amongst others, to
co-produce the sequel of its Superhit Marathi Film ‘Poshter Boyz’ titled
‘Poshter Boyz 2’. The film will also mark the directorial debut of
Actor-Producer Shreyas Talpade and will feature the original Poshter Boyz trio of
Dilip Prabhavalkar, Hrishikesh Joshi and Aniket Vishwasrao.
Commenting on the occasion Shreyas Talpade said, “From the
day we decided to produce ‘Poshter Boyz’, we knew it would beco
me a franchise. The
overwhelming response the movie received on its release only further validated this.
‘Poshter Boyz 2’ will not just push the canvas of the franchise but also aims
at doubling the entertainment quotient. Furthermore, I have through my career
in films always been fascinated with the art of direction. ‘Poshter Boyz 2’ is the
perfect platform for me to take the plunge.
“Having worked with
DAR Motion Pictures on ‘BAJI’, it was abundantly evident right from the word go
that apart from a near perfect match in our sensibilities when it came to film
making but that they would also be ideal partners for Poshter Boyz 2,” added
Shreyas on Deepti and his choice of partnering with DAR Motion Pictures for
Poshter Boyz 2.
Poshter Boyz was a humorous take on a key social issue where three
ordinary individuals of completely different age-groups find themselves brought
together in an unwanted situation that has a serious negative effect on their
well-settled happily progressing life. It revolved around an incident of three
ordinary people who, to their surprise, found their pictures on a poster
promoting vasectomy and how that error changed their lives around. Laced with a
very interesting and well rounded music and background score, the film explored
the journey of these three men through those trying times and their fight for
justice.
Commenting on the association with Affluence Movies Pvt Ltd,
Vivek Rangachari, Producer DAR Motion Pictures said, “We have always been very
bullish about the Marathi film industry. Infact the very first film we produced
was Lalbaug Parel before moving on to produce a whole host of Hindi films along
with Teechaa Baap Tycha Baap and now the highly anticipated Baji. We continue
to remain very bullish about the industry and hence when during the shoot of
Baji Shreyas narrated the story he had in mind for the sequel to Poshter Boyz we
immediately confirmed our partnership in this venture.’’
Poshter Boyz 2 is slated for an early 2016 release.
