DATTA MIRKUTE -Director OF PREM SANKAT speaks to media by Mohan Ayyer

Datta Mirkute:.’ We went to Silvssa for the shooting of the film for 25 days and I completed the entire shooting in one non-stop shooting stint . I prefer to shoot the entire film in one shooting spell as it helps the producer to save both money and time. If I had two or three schedules , then getting the combined dates of busy actors like Nishigandha Wad and Satish Pulekar who play the parents of the hero Raj Surwade could have been difficult and the film would have delayed a lot. In Marathi films, normally the budgets are very tight and the producer cant afford a wastage of even single rupee as ultimately he has also to release the film himself by putting another  40 to 50 lakhs of rupees to get the P and A and booking the cinemas which is the toughest part nowadays. Luckily for me and the producers, we got Drishyam Films who are experienced people of the distribution section and they launched a huge publicity campaign for the film 15 days before the release.

From 7th October onwards, Zee Music will be telecasting all the six songs of the film. Music director Vishal Wankhede has given me very peppy musical score and they will be liked by the youth mainly  who are the biggest first three days audiences for Marathi films these days. The youth will love the sacrifices done by the hero to get his love till the very end of the film. Monalisa Bagal who plays the lady love of the hero Raj Surwade has done a fantastic job. Then other actors like Rahul Bhise,Ankita Parmar,Damini Dolas,Rajendra Sisatkar,Yatin Kryekar,Latika Gore ,Rohini ,Satish Pulekar and Nishigandha Wad have also done very well in the supporting cast.Cameraman ravi Bhatt,action master Bunty and editor Sundar Pathuri have gone out of the way to make PREM SANKAT a very big family entertainer. So what is next in store for Datta Mirkute. He says very confidently:’I have been signed to direct a Hindi film which is again youth based and a love story with action and music which I will launch shortly after the release of PREM SANKAT.’
