The digital star turns to regional cinema for a powerful story on education and identity.
Popular content creator, actor, and author Prajakta Koli, famously known as MostlySane, is all set to make her Marathi cinema debut with Hemant Dhome’s upcoming film Krantijyoti Vidyalay – Marathi Madhyam. The film tackles the decline of Marathi-medium schools in Maharashtra, spotlighting an issue close to the cultural heart of the state.
Shot in Alibaug earlier this year, the movie blends social commentary with regional storytelling, a space where Koli feels most at home.
Prajakta Koli on Her Marathi Debut:
“Moving from the digital space to Bollywood was incredible, but stepping into Marathi cinema feels like coming home. The language, the culture, and the regional stories we tell hold a special place in my heart.”
