“Shyamchi Aai” is being planned to be released on the auspicious occasion of Diwali next year. Since the actors for the film will be finalized only after a spate of auditions right now Sujay has not announced the names of the actors of the film and there is no semblance or similarity between this film and the earlier film “Shyamchi Aai” except the title by itself. Since the film is based on Sane Guruji’s novel, a lot of aspects of the plot will be explored with the latest digital technology in the film,which could not be earlier done in the film “Shyamchi Aai”.
Right from the time he had made his debut with “Shala”, Sujay has been toying with the idea of making “Shyamchi Aai” in his mind. Even while Sujay was working on his other films till date, he was continuing with the research on the film “Shyamchi Aai” on the side. Since he had already spent almost five to six years in doing the research for his film, Sujay rightly feels that this is the right time for him to launch his film “Shyamchi Aai”. By shooting his film in black and white like in earlier days, Sujay is now all set to evoke nostalgia in the minds of the audiences and lead them once again back to the 19th century in his own inimitable as well as unique style.
