History
[edit]Planet Marathi was established in May 2017 by entrepreneur Akshay Bardapurkar with a focus on global dissemination of Marathi films, arts, and culture.[6][7] Before venturing into film production, Bardapurkar launched Planet Marathi Talent, a talent management hub that collaborated with several notable celebrities, including Shivani Baokar, Kranti Redkar, Nikhil Chavan, Amruta Khanvilkar, Siddharth Jadhav and Sayali Sanjeev.[2] The company's debut production was AB Aani CD, directed by Milind Lele, featuring Vikram Gokhale and Amitabh Bachchan (marking his Marathi film debut). The film's theatrical release was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in India but was later made available on Amazon Prime Video.[8] Additionally, Prasad Oak’s directorial venture Chandramukhi, produced by Planet Marathi, was the first big-budget Marathi film to commence shooting post-pandemic, which marked a significant milestone for the industry.[9] In June 2021, June was the first film to be release directly on Planet Marathi OTT.[10]
