“Vikram is supremely talented and I’m happy to be part of his debut Marathi film. It was an interesting experience to shoot with kids,” he added.

Since Maniesh is playing himself in the movie, the audience will not hear him speaking Marathi in the movie.

Phadnis reveals that the Jhalak Dikhla Jaa host plays the role of a celebrity guest at the annual sports day of a school. “We have approached Maniesh to play the part because I believe he is very active and popular among the younger generation, especially kids who love him. Having him as the chief guest for sports day made the entire environment and occasion on the set amazing and lively,” Vikram said.

Maneish Paul who earlier spelt his name as Manish added an extra ‘e’ to his name on someone’s suggestion and is also hopeful about some pleasant changes in his life by next year.
