After
featuring
in
popular
Marathi
films
like
Lai
Bhaari
and
Mauli,
actor
Riteish
Deshmukh
is
all
set
to
feature
in
yet
another
Marathi
film,
Adrushya,
directed
by
Kabir
Lal.
The
thriller
also
stars
Pushkar
Jog
and
Manjari
Fadnnis
in
pivotal
roles.
The
Bollywood
actor
recently
confirmed
his
casting
with
Times
of
India.
While
revealing
the
reason
behind
doing
Adrushya,
Riteish
Deshmukh
told
the
portal,
"Kabir
Lal
is
the
reason
I
am
in
films.
He
had
seen
me
on
a
Subhash
Ghai
film's
set
where
I
had
just
gone
to
see
the
shoot.
Maybe
he
thought
that
I
wanted
to
be
an
actor,
although
I
had
nothing
in
mind
about
getting
into
films
then.
So,
when
Tujhe
Meri
Kasam
(TMK)
was
being
made,
he
recommended
me
for
the
film.
He
was
the
cinematographer
for
the
film
which
launched
my
career."
Let
us
tell
you
that
Kabir
Lal
was
a
cinematographer
of
Riteish's
debut
film
Tujhe
Meri
Kasam,
opposite
his
actress-wife
Genelia
Deshmukh.
Riteish
Deshmukh
also
said
that
he
is
quite
excited
to
reunite
with
Kabir
Lal
for
a
film
after
almost
two
decades.
While
shooting
for
Adrushya,
Riteish
and
Kabir
recalled
their
old
days.
Talking
about
the
actor's
third
Marathi
film,
it
also
stars
Saurabh
Gokhale
and
Ajay
Kumar
Singh
in
key
roles.
It's
said
to
be
adapted
from
the
Spanish
film,
Julia's
Eyes.
Apart
from
that,
Riteish
Deshmukh
will
also
be
seen
as
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
Maharaj
in
a
Marathi
trilogy
based
on
the
life
of
the
great
Maratha
warrior
king,
helmed
by
Nagraj
Manjule.
Talking
about
his
Hindi
projects,
Riteish
will
next
be
seen
in
Shashanka
Ghosh's
untitled
Netflix
film.
