Yet another woman-centric film from Akshay, Goshta Eka Paithanichi narrates the tale of a woman, played by Sayali Sanjeev, who battles all odds through her sheer willpower to achieve success. Sayali has received a lot of critical acclaim for her performance, as have co-actors Suvrat Joshi and Mrinal Kulkarni.
Be it web series or cinema, movies from Akshay’s production have created a new dimension for women in the industry. On Planet Marathi, the political thriller Raanbaazaar, which was trending in more than 7 countries, featured Prajakta Mali and Tejaswini Pandit in unique roles. Tejaswini Pandit played another important role in another hit series Anuradha on Planet Marathi.
She brought Chandramukhi to life on celluloid, presenting a story that had never been told in the industry before. Popular actress Sonali Kulkarni was seen in the role of a journalist in Planet Marathi’s Tamasha Live, a role which garnered her much critical acclaim.

This is a very lovely and heartfelt tale. The narrative has a hint of dream reality for the middle class. Because of this, viewers will find this movie to be incredibly relatable. This is the outcome of Planet Marathi’s constant efforts to offer relatable content while also providing entertainment".
