Sundar is the CEO of The Voice Bank, a Sub Agency which has produced Radio spots, audio visuals and ad-films since years.
Says Sundar Seturaman, “All the four songs are sung by many youth voices, like the vibrant song ‘Paani Harawala, Koni Te Chorala‘ a bharood sung by Swanand Kirkire, a romantic ‘Je Hote Mala, Hote Ka Tula‘, love song which marks the debut of Arman Malik with ‘Bedhund Befikir Uhnad Wara Mi Majhya Isharyavar Chale Dunia Hi’ and another youth song in the voice of Chinmay Hulalkar,Jagdissh Pawar and Shalmali Kholgade.”
Coming from the advertising background, this is Sundar’s debut as a film producer. “I have made several ad films with Rakesh Kudalkar, and I have seen it in him that he has a contemperory approach towards his story telling. Hence I found him the numero uno choice as the director for this film which reasonates with the masses and approaches several burning issues of the society”.

Sunder mentions, “We have taken famous youth icons of the Marathi film industry, like Neha Mahajan, Akshay Waghmare, Meera Joshi, Akshay Mhatre, Ketaki Kulkarni, Shashank Jadhav who are paired with veterans Vikram Gokhale and Satish Pulekar.
On asking Sundar how he selected this subject, he said, “Anand Nadkarni of A-1 studio recommended this interesting subject that eventhough various political parties have ruled the state, nobody has solved this agrarian crisis. The subject is need of the hour.”
It is an interesting story when a college reunion happens. This film gives a very strong social message to the politicians. A very hard hitting message to these politicians who have become immune to farmers suicides,” adds Sundar.
“Youth across various societies will relate to this problems as they will feel engaged. Lets garner the power of youth in this digital environment. Lets bring a change,” adds Rakesh Kudalkar, the director.
“You cant solve the problem by just donating the money. Hence, we are focusing two villages Pahadi Targar and Jivachi Wadi in Beed district,” Sundar said.
On summing up their project, they unitedly declared, “There is entertainment. There is a social message. Yet it doesn’t look preachy. Maybe, now we feel that producing this film is a way of Venting frustration against corruption in the system.”
