The first poster shows him in period attire with a vintage camera, backed by a symbolic eagle. Director Abhijeet Shirish Deshpande helms the project, presented by several production houses. Chaturvedi called the role a dream, testing his artistic truth. He described Shantaram as a rebellious visionary who reshaped Indian cinema. The film will trace the icon's journey from silent movies to color, highlighting his persistent innovation against all odds. The late director founded major studios like Prabhat Film Company and Rajkamal Kalamandir. His landmark works include the first Marathi talkie and classics such as Do Aankhen Barah Haath. He later received the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. [/QUOTE]
