Acclaimed
director
Aditya
Sarpotdar
is
getting
ready
for
the
release
of
his
next
Marathi
film
-
the
quirkily
titled
horror-comedy
revolving
around
zombies
-
Zombivli
-
a
first
of
its
kind
for
Marathi
cinema.
After
the
initial
poster
launch
which
caused
a
fair
amount
of
excitement
amongst
audiences,
the
makers
today
dropped
the
teaser
of
the
film,
which
stars
Amey
Wagh,
Lalit
Prabhakar
and
Vaidehi
Parashurami
in
lead
roles.
The
film
will
be
releasing
in
theatres
on
30th
April
2021.
While
2020
saw
a
practical
standstill
of
shooting
for
new
and
existing
projects
in
the
film
industry,
Zombivli
was
the
first
Marathi
films
that
went
on
floors
when
the
first
set
of
Unlock
rules
came
into
play.
Produced
by
Yoodlee
Films,
the
film
was
extensively
shot
in
and
around
Mumbai
and
Latur,
with
the
cast
and
crew
adapting
and
following
the
strict
hygiene
protocols
that
were
mandated
by
the
government.
Now
with
teaser
release,
Zombivli
also
becomes
the
first
Marathi
film
to
announce
its
theatrical
release
date,
as
the
movie
theatres
slowly
reopen
to
full
occupancy.
Based
on
a
unique
premise
of
zombies
taking
over
a
popular
and
busy
Mumbai
suburb
due
to
certain
circumstances,
the
teaser
is
a
mix
of
humour
combined
with
elements
of
horror,
that
is
guaranteed
to
get
audiences
hooked.
The
ensemble
cast
of
Amey,
Lalit
and
Vaidehi
work
together
to
create
an
atmosphere
of
intrigue
and
comedy,
that
sets
audiences
up
well
for
the
subsequent
trailer
launch
in
the
coming
weeks.
Aditya
Sarpotdar,
commenting
on
the
teaser
launch
of
the
film
said,
"It's
an
absolutely
unique
story.
Horror
comedy
is
rare
in
Marathi
cinema,
and
to
add
zombies
to
the
genre,
is
a
first
of
its
kind.
The
poster
of
the
film
had
created
massive
interest
and
engagement
among
movie
lovers
when
we
had
launched
it
last
year,
and
the
teaser
now
offers
fans
a
glimpse
of
the
world
of
Zombivli.
We
shot
the
film
with
unprecedented
circumstances,
and
the
fact
that
it
will
get
a
theatrical
release
soon
is
both
a
matter
of
excitement
and
pride.
Look
forward
to
the
trailer
soon
-
I
promise
you
a
good
time
at
the
movies."
