Sharing a glimpse of shoot through a video on Instagram, Genelia wrote – ‘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.. เคตเฅเคก (Madness).’
Sharing the posters of the film, Riteish wrote – ‘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. เคตเฅเคก (Madness).’
