Genelia Deshmukh returns to acting after 10 years with Riteish Deshmukh’s directorial debut Ved

After being in front of the camera for 20 years, I take a big leap to stand behind it for the first time.
As I direct my first marathi film, i humbly ask you all for your good wishes and blessings. Be a part of this journey, be a part of this madness.

Abhishek Bachchan commented on Riteish’s post saying, “Fantastic news, all the best lil brother!”

Genelia Deshmukh also shared a post on Instagram with the caption, “Have been blessed to be part of movies in so many languages and receive love and respect from all. Being born in Maharashtra, my heart yearned to do a film in Marathi for years and was hoping there would be a script where I could just say this is it.. And then this happened – My first Marathi film, me coming back to acting after 10 long years and being part of a dream where my husband Riteish Deshmukh directs for the first time and I get to share space with a beautiful Co- Actor Jiya Shankar who gets introduced under our production house MFC. I would humbly request loads of blessings from each one of you, because films are always a journey and we would love if you could be on this journey with us.”
