Mumbai: Shot on a smartphone, the film showcases Pondicherry beaches, natural beauty, French homes, people and the culture of the city.

Directed by Sachin Kundalkar, the film stars Sai Tamhankar, Vaibhav Tatvvadi, Amrita Khanvilkar, Mahesh Manjrekar, Neena Kulkarni, Gaurav Ghatnekar and Tanmay Kulkarni. Apart from this, the credit of making it unique with its photography goes to DOP Milind Jog.

The trailer of the most awaited film Pondicherry has been launched at Pondicherry Cafe in Mumbai.

Talking about her role in the film, actress Amrita Khanvilkar says, “The story fascinated me the most and Sachin Kundalkar is undoubtedly one of the finest story tellers. I love the depth of my character and the uniqueness of the film, which is shot through a smartphone. Actually we shot with a limited crew which was a challenge for each one of us but as mentioned it all turns out well in the end as the team worked whole heartedly.

On the other hand, actress Sai Tamhankar also expressed happiness on being a part of the film. He talked about his character and what is it that makes this film different.

She said, “I feel extremely blessed to have such a wonderful film and such a powerful character. The beauty of my character is that I have got to play the role of Nikita in the film, one who talks less and does more. Also, working with co-stars who are excellent at portraying their roles inspires me even more. It feels great to be back with a new story with one of my favorite filmmakers, Sachin Kundalkar.

The actress further added, “I love the way he tells his stories and the mannerisms that Sachin has and the way he weaves his characters. The process of this film is something that has changed me inside and out and inspired me for the better. This is an iPhone (smartphone) movie with 15 people and the actors playing their characters without any makeup and accessories, which has been a really special experience.

Actor Vaibhav Tatvvadi also shared his thoughts about the film and explained why he acted in the film and what he liked the most about the film. The first thing that caught my attention was after knowing a story based on the city of Pondicherry, he says. The stunning frames, superb direction and portrayal of the entire film is something new to watch for the audience.

Director Sachin Kundalkar explains the idea behind the film and commends Milind Jog for shooting the entire film.

The film, he says, brings up completely different themes. The film may look like a love-triangle on seeing the teaser, but its theme goes much further than that. Since the entire film is shot on mobile, there is a clear technical difference. But, to maintain that balance and feel, we shot it very carefully and came out with a great creation. It also showcases the talent of photographer Milind Jog. Many versatile actors have come together to make the film. This unique emotional story will surely impress the viewer.

Presented by Akshay Bardapurkar and Vista Media Capital Company Planet Marathi, the film Pondicherry is written and directed by Sachin Kundalkar and produced by Neil Patel on behalf of Moh Maya Films.

Talking about the film, Akshay Bardapurkar, Head & Founder, Planet Marathi says, “We love working with new stories and direction to entertain the audience. Pondicherry is the result of that brilliant experiment. People will get to see a different theme and story in this film. The theme of this film is entertaining as well as informative.

The film is all set to release in theaters on February 25.
