Marathi theatre lovers are in for a treat as the much-awaited play ‘Ladki Vihin Yojana’ marks the return of acclaimed actress Nirmitee Sawant to the stage. Promising a refreshing dose of humour and light-hearted entertainment, the play is designed to bring laughter and joy to audiences across Maharashtra.
Produced by Ashtavinayak and Panchsheel Entertainment, the play is penned by Prathamesh Shivalkar and directed by Rajesh Deshpande. Despite its title referencing a “Yojana,” this initiative is purely for entertainment, with no paperwork, rules, or conditions—just crisp comedy, witty dialogues, and relatable depictions of everyday Marathi life.
During a recent press conference, the team highlighted that the play offers a humorous take on family dynamics, providing audiences a delightful escape from daily stress. Actor Prasad Oak shared his excitement, revealing that he had long wished to direct and produce a play, and that producer Dilip Jadhav had promised him the right opportunity. With ‘Ladki Vihin Yojana’, that vision has finally come alive. Oak expressed confidence that the play would deliver immense joy and entertainment to theatre-goers.
Actor and co-producer Swapnil Joshi described the project as a proud moment, emphasising the commitment of Ashtavinayak to quality productions. Producer Dilip Jadhav added that he seeks strong scripts that resonate with audiences on stage, calling this script a perfect example capable of running for over 150 shows.
Writer Prathamesh Shivalkar expressed his excitement about presenting his first commercial play alongside such accomplished talent. Director Rajesh Deshpande brought humour to the proceedings, joking that this is “Sawant’s scheme” aimed solely at making audiences laugh.
For Nirmitee Sawant, returning to theatre after a busy film schedule is an emotional homecoming. She described theatre as her “maternal home” and expressed joy in collaborating with veteran actors like Prasad Oak and Swapnil Joshi, promising a memorable experience for audiences.
