Gujarati entertainer Fakt Mahilao Maate to be released on 19 August

The Gujarati film Fakt Mahilao Maate (2022) is due to be released theatrically on 19 August. The social comedy stars Yash Soni and Deeksha Joshi and sees Amitabh Bachchan make a cameo.

Directed by Jay Bodas and co-produced by Anand Pandit and Vaishal Shah, the movie will be premiered on the occasion of Janmashtami.

A poster of the film, which has just been unveiled, shows a dazed Soni with a halo above his head. Bachchan is seen trying to look at him from behind. The film's title also incorporates a weak wi-fi signal.

Producer Pandit stated, “Fakt Mahilao Maate is a social comedy and addresses issues that every member of the audience and especially all women will identify with. We are bringing forth an important social message without being preachy in a manner that will make people laugh and also think.”

He added, “This film is also very special to me because after Chehre (2021), I am once again working with Amitji. It was just amazing to see him adapting to the milieu depicted in the story and mastering the linguistic nuances needed by his character. His ease with Gujarati diction blew me away and his professionalism on sets and in the dubbing studios is of course legendary!"
 
Co-producer Vaishal Shah stated, "I have been a part of Anand Pandit's cinematic family for a while and it was an absolute pleasure to once again collaborate on yet another special project after Chehre with the one and only Amitabh Bachchan. This film has acquired an entirely new dimension because Amitji has lent his magical voice and presence to it. We cannot wait to bring Fakt Mahilao Maate to the audience on 19 August.”
