Aruna Irani to act in Marathi movie after 16 years

Veteran actress Aruna Irani is making a comeback in Marathi movies after 16 years.

The movie, Bol Baby Bol, directed by Vinay Laad and produced by her brother Balraj Irani, would be released by early next year.

Laad was all praise for Aruna Irani. "It is a family comedy revolving around a toddler and Arunaji plays a pivotal role in the movie," he said.

It was great working with her as she is a dedicated artist, he said. "We completed the entire shoot in 22 days," he said.

On whether she faced any language problem, the filmmaker, who has made serials like Astitva for Zee Marathi, said she got the dialogues recorded scene-wise on a CD.

"She enquired about the scene to be shot next day and came prepared by listening to the recorded dialogues. There was no problem," he said.

The movie cast includes Makrand Anaspure, Anikesh Vishwarao and Neha Pendse. The last time Aruna Irani acted in Marathi movies was in films like Changu Mangu.

Besides Bol baby Bol, Laad also has Chi Sou Kaan Mary Fernandez and Kay Karu an Kasa Karu lined up for release.

"All the movies should release around same time," he added.
