When Shreyas Talpade returned to acting after releasing his first co-production Sanai Choughade (2008) — under his home banner Affluence Movies Pvt Ltd — many looked at it as a one-off indulgence. However, the actor says he took a break from production only because he did not want to invest his time and money on any passing script. The self-imposed break is over now and Shreyas is returning as an independent producer with another Marathi movie, Poshter Boyz, which is slated to release in July.
Also, after dabbling in Marathi cinema, he is keen to touch base with “the rest of India”. “I am as much a part of the Marathi industry as Bollywood and I owe it to myself and my fans to finally make a Hindi film,” says he. He elaborates, “I have chosen two scripts. We will take a call on which will be made first in a couple of weeks. Both the movies are content-driven family entertainers. I want to explore various genres. We are currently in discussion with an A-list actor and hope to kick-start production by end of this year.” So, will he act in it? “That’s not been decided yet. I may act in one or both of them depending on the role,” he answers.

Shreyas Talpade is all set to make his mark as an independent producer. To begin with, the actor will soon start a Marathi venture, Poshter Boyj, under his banner Affluence Movies Pvt Ltd. He says that it is his love for the language that inspired him to create the project. The plot revolves around three average characters who suddenly see their lives slipping out of their hands.
Shreyas says, “I wanted to evolve in the field of entertainment. A lot of people suggested film direction, but that is not my calling... not for now, at least. I wanted to produce a film as I love getting involved in the minutest details of filmmaking.”
The actor in him, however, is currently looking forward to his upcoming films — Bhaiyyaji Superhitt and Wah Taj. The former has him playing a Bengali on screen for the first time and the latter, shot extensively in Agra and Bhopal, has him essaying a crusader of sorts who takes on the system.
