Leading Marathi film actors Makrand Anaspure, Ajinkya Deo and Sayaji Shinde today became the latest entrants to the Maharashtra Navnirman Cine Workers' Association, the film wing of the Raj Thackeray-led MNS.

Actors Prasad Oak, Vinay Yedekar and Priya Berde also joined the MNS film wing, at the concluding function of the enrolment drive here.

During the one and a half months of the drive, around 10,000 members from Marathi and Hindi film industry have joined the Association, its president Amey Khopkar said.

Last month, actor Irrfan Khan and producer Bunty Walia joined the Maharashtra Navnirman Cine Workers' Association. Earlier, veteran actor Vikram Gokhale, Sandeep Kulkarni and Harshada Khanvilkar also joined the Association.

"There are so many problems for the promotion of Marathi films, right from lack of money for advertising to availability of theatre to release the cinema. When I met Raj Thackeray, he had made a number of important suggestions to solve the problems. We are here, because these people have worked for our Marathi film industry. There is no political pressure on us to join the organisation," said Anaspure.

Oak thanked the Association for supporting his films in the past, even when he was not the member of the association.

Shinde, who has worked in Marathi, Hindi and in Southern films, said the unity of cine artists which is extremely strong in Southern states should be seen in Maharashtra also.

Association general secretary, Shalini Thackeray said other organisations working in the field have failed to address the issues of people working in the industry.

Khopkar said these people have come to the association because of their faith in Raj Thackeray.
