With the over-the-top platform Planet Marathi being close to its launch, the makers have unveiled its logo, a colourful image of the Devanagiri letter म (Ma).
The platform will be launched this month with the release of director duo Suhrud Godbole and Vaibhav Khisti’s June (2021), which stars Nehha Pendse and Siddharth Menon.
Speaking about the logo, Planet Marathi founder Akshay Bardapurkar said, “After a long wait, we are finally launching our revolutionary platform that will bring a new era of entertainment experience for the Marathi industry. June 2021 marks a new beginning even for Planet Marathi with the launch of our new identity. Although we are turning a new leaf, our commitment to our audiences will remain the same.”
He added, “This is the age of web content and we don’t want amazing Marathi content to wither away in the overload of content pouring in in the digital space. Our culture, our language and our art have so much meaning and our talented artistes put everything at stake to present this to the audience. We at Planet Marathi want to create a platform that honours their painstaking efforts.”
Planet Marathi will also stream Marathi web-series and short films. In a statement, the platform said, 'Marathi movie fans who wouldn’t want to buy the whole subscription but still want to see the film can simply buy a ticket and watch the movie in the Planet Marathi Digital Theatre!'
