Adrushya: Riteish Deshmukh To Star In Pushkar Jog & Manjari Fadnnis’ Thriller

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.
