Actress Amruta Khanvilkar has launched the over-the-top (OTT) platform Planet Marathi.

The platform, the first of its kind to exclusively stream Marathi content, has been founded by Akshay Bardapurkar. Actor Pushkar Shrotri was also present at the event. 

The first original film that will be seen on Planet Marathi is Suhrud Godbole and Vaibhav Khisti's coming-of-age drama June. The film, which stars Siddharth Menon and Nehha Pendse Bayas, will be premiered on the platform tomorrow. 

June is one of those projects that gave me complete fulfilment, says Siddharth Menon

Khanvilkar said in a statement, “It is a big thing for me to launch such a major Marathi OTT platform. I am especially happy to have associated with Planet Marathi through Planet Talent. Planet Marathi has already announced quite a few of their original films and web-series. After going through the content, I am sure the audience will like what they will be offered.” 

Sharing his thoughts at the launch, the CMD of Planet Marathi, Akshay Bardapurkar, said, “The audience has been waiting for a Marathi OTT platform for months. We are happy that finally the audience will be introduced to Planet Marathi.” 

He added, “The audience will be able to see their favourite content on the platform. We will ensure that they get high quality and meaningful content. We will also ensure that the vast sea of Marathi literature reaches them. We will always continue to keep our bond with the audience intact.”
