The Hindi trailer of film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior which released recently, has been
widely appreciated and received some rave reviews. Based on the glorious life of the
Maratha warrior Tanhaji Malusare, who made a massive mark in the Indian History is now
set to be seen in Marathi too! The visual extravaganza, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior will
also have a Marathi version released on 10th January 2019 across Maharashtra.
Speaking about the same Director Om said, “I had pitched it as a Hindi film because the
idea was to go global. But Mr Devgn felt the need to come out with a Marathi version as
well to ensure that it reaches the interiors of the state,” The period drama will have many
known names from the Marathi Film Industry like Sharad Kelkar (Chhatrapati Shivaji
Maharaj), Devdatta Nage (Suryaji Malusare) and Shashank Shende (Shelar Mama).
Opening up about releasing the film in Marathi, Ajay Devgn said, "It’s my privilege to be
able to share the story of this brave Maratha warrior in his mother tongue as well as in
Hindi. I want Maharashtra to partake in his journey as much as the rest of India."
Kajol who will be essaying the role of Savitribai (Tanhaji’s wife) is also a Maharashtrian on
her mother Tanuja’s side. The actress is delighted about the film releasing in Marathi too.
She said, “I loved playing this Maharashtrian character. To me, having grown up with my
grandmother and my great grandmother and seen them like this, it was almost like
reliving a part of my own history.’’
The actress will be seen wearing the traditional Maharashtrian attire ‘Nauvari’ for the film.
Adding further, “I felt like I was playing dress up with my mother’s clothes and in a grown
up way almost playing her in the film. I absolutely loved it and if I have my way I will one
day wear the Navvari sari on a red carpet as well. It’s just too sexy not to wear it! There is
a certain body language in a saree and a Navvari that makes you feel all woman when worn.”
Admiring the character Kajol said, “This character of Savitri is such a strong and amazing
one. I identified with her innate strength and absolutely admired her grace in facing adversity.’’
As the team gears up for the launch of the Marathi trailer on December 10, Om Raut
reveals, “It will be a nice tribute to showcase a Marathi film about a warrior in 3D.
Capturing the dialect and cultural nuances was important and we have ensured that the
beauty of the language is not lost.”
Ajay Devgn starrer Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior produced by Ajay Devgn’s ADF and
Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, directed by Om Raut, will release on 10th January 2020 in Hindi
& Marathi.
