When two exceptional artists come together in the world of entertainment, you can expect something extraordinary. Marathi theatre is set to witness the collaboration of two stalwarts in an upcoming play that promises to be a treat for audiences. Veteran actor Sayaji Shinde, renowned for his powerful performances in Marathi, Hindi, and South Indian cinema, will make a triumphant return to the stage after 22 years. Joining him is Ajit Bhure, a versatile talent who has excelled as a dubbing artist, actor, director, and theatre producer.
Under the banner of Sumukh Chitra and Aryans Group of Companies, several innovative plays are being brought to life, and their latest production has managed to bring these two legends together. This marks the third theatrical venture by the production house, and the anticipation surrounding this play has already reached its peak. Details about the play’s title, storyline, and other cast members are still under wraps, but the production is set to premiere soon.
Sayaji Shinde shared his thoughts, “I came to Mumbai with the dream of acting in theatre but got caught up in the world of films. Now, returning to the stage is a joy in itself. They say that every five years, people and circumstances change. Through this new play, I aim to explore and understand those changes. I was drawn to this project because it reimagines traditional themes with a fresh perspective. Collaborating with Ajit Bhure, someone I’ve worked with on experimental theatre in the past, is a great opportunity. He is a passionate artist who values people over everything else. Together, we have witnessed the golden era of entertainment, and I am thrilled to share that richness with theatre lovers once again.”
Ajit Bhure, who is returning to direction after six years, added, “Working with an artist of Sayaji Shinde’s caliber is a privilege. I remember watching him in Zulva, and it was an unforgettable experience. Sharing the stage with him will undoubtedly enhance my craft as an artist. This play is a milestone in Marathi theatre, and taking on this challenge in today’s context felt exhilarating. I’m grateful to Sumukh Chitra for making this collaboration possible.”
The Aryans Group of Companies, known for its success in diverse fields, has ventured into theatre through Sumukh Chitra. Executive producer Nikhil Jadhav expressed his vision for the project, “Our goal is to bring refined and meaningful productions to theatre enthusiasts. This collaboration of experienced and talented artists will deliver a remarkable treat to audiences.”
With two legendary performers at its helm, this new theatrical venture is shaping up to be an unforgettable experience for Marathi theatre lovers.
