Veer Baji Prabhu Deshpande will be trendsetter film – Shailesh Nile Rs 50 Crore is certainly an uncommon budget for a Marathi movie. But the cost of Director Shailesh Nile’s Marathi film Veer Baji Prabhu Deshpande is most likely to cross this figure. And debutant director Shailesh Nile is creating what others in the industry never imagined so far – an out-and-out VFX film in Marathi. Veer Baji Prabhu Deshpande, the first-of-its-kind Marathi film on the heroic life and sacrifice of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s most-trusted aide, will take another year to hit the screens. Rang Marathi talked to the young and ambitious VFX artist and filmmaker Shailesh Nile.

“Yes, the budget is big. But then the entire film is being made in VFX, which is a costly thing to do. We have chosen the subject very carefully so that it appeals to the audiences of all ages, in and out of Maharashtra. The film is being made in Marathi and English keeping in view the world audience,” Shailesh stated.

He said it was not possible to showcase Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s life in a three-hour film, but they were looking for a character of similar stature as people like heroes. They researched extensively and then decided to make a film on Baji Prabhu Deshpande. The film, based in the 16th Century, will start with Baji Prabhu’s birth, continue with his early life and the historical battles that he fought and end at his martyrdom.

The director, who has two-three big and international projects lined up after this film, said they were coming up with aggressive methods to market the film. “We launched our film’s Facebook page in November 2012 that has over 20,000 likes by now. Over 6500 T-Shirts of the film’s promotion have been ordered by people. Print and electronic media is supporting us very well in creating the buzz about the film. The overall response from the people is very good even before the film’s release,” Shailesh said.

The Director Shailesh Nile has roped in international VFX artists, who earlier worked with the teams of Hollywood films 300, Man of Steel, Harry Potter, etc. The storyboarding has been completed and the makers are now preparing for shooting, which will take place at a croma studio in Los Angeles as the facility is not available in India. “A lot of hard work is involved in the shooting of such films. The budget is also likely to rise. Therefore it will take some time but the final product will be very impressive. Veer Baji Prabhu Deshpande will be a trendsetter movie for Marathi cinema,” Shailesh said with confidence.
