Prakash Kunte's romantic drama Eka Hathacha Antar, starring Siddharth Chandekar, Gauri Nalawade and Abhijeet Khandkekar, went on the floor today.

The film, written by Mitali Joshi, is set against the backdrop of  the charming town of Pondicherry.

The film, which navigates the trials and complexities of marriage, intimacy and infidelity, is being produced by Planet Marathi and High IQ Entertainment.

Kunte, who has previously helmed critically acclaimed films like Coffee Ani Barach Kahi (2015), Hampi (2017) and Cycle (2018), said, "I feel grateful to be on board for this one since we are filming it in Pondicherry with a story which will entertain the audience. The team is rock solid and we hope we can create magic.”

Eka Hathacha Antar, which also features Resham Shrivardhankar, Hemant Dhome and Neha Joshi in pivotal roles, will skip a theatrical release and be streamed directly on Planet Marathi OTT.

Akshay Bardapurkar, founder and head of the Planet Marathi production house and streaming platform, said, “We are happy to announce that our film Eka Hathacha Antar has begun its first shooting schedule. We want to tell more stories that follow ordinary people in extraordinary situations, both common and uncommon. Eka Hathacha Antar is right in that alley. The project has taken off with a bang with a great star cast and crew in Pondicherry.”

Rajiv Ramesh Agarwal of High IQ Entertainment said, “It gives us great pleasure to associate with Planet Marathi OTT to bring to audiences Eka Hathacha Antar. It is a relatable yet intriguing story with great characters and shooting it in Pondicherry will give a beautiful character to the film.”

This will be the second Marathi film in recent times to be shot in the Union territory in South India, after the Sai Tamhankar- and Vaibhav Tatwawadi-starrer Pondicherry (2022), which was released in February this year.
