Shemaroo MarathiBana’s Diwali gesture for Police and Families
Mumbai: The festive season is a time of joy and togetherness with family and friends. However, for our police personnel who tirelessly serve and protect our communities, this period often means being away from their own families, ensuring our safety during the festivities.
As a tribute to the sacrifices and dedication of our police force, Shemaroo MarathiBana took the initiative to celebrate Diwali with the police and their families, who are unable to partake in the festivities due to their duty. The channel acknowledged the immense contribution of our police personnel, who work selflessly, often in challenging conditions, to keep our cities safe. The celebration aimed to shine a light on the lives of these unsung heroes, making their festival brighter and memorable.
Adding to the fervor of this celebration in Bhoiwada Police Station in Parel, Mumbai, the talented actors of Shemaroo MarathiBana’s new show, ‘Sau. Pratap Manasi Supekar,’, Pradeep Ghule, and Tanvee Kiran also joined in to extend their heartfelt Diwali wishes and spread joy. With a commitment to the community and a spirit of celebration, Pradeep and Tanvee interacted with the residents, spreading joy and positivity. It was a moment that brought smiles and a sense of togetherness to the lives of these real-life heroes.
This visit holds a special place in their hearts as they engaged with the residents of the police quarters in Mumbai, offering their respect and gratitude to the Police Officers who dedicated their lives to ensuring our safety. This event offered a platform for the police officers and their partners to share emotional moments in their lives where they have been pillars of strength for each other, ensuring the smooth flow of the wheel of life. The actors distributed gifts and Diwali Faral (Diwali Delicacy) to the police personnel and their families as a small token of appreciation and a way to light up the festive season for those who work tirelessly to safeguard our communities. The initiative also included a range of activities tailored to provide a memorable Diwali experience.
Pradeep and Tanvee’s visit reflects the values of ‘Sau. Pratap Manasi Supekar,’ a show that emphasises the importance of support and strong relationships. It’s a beautiful way to start the Diwali festivities and spread the message of unity, love, and joy within the community.
In addition to Mumbai, Shemaroo MarathiBana will also share the joy of Diwali celebrations with the police and their families in Pune and Sangli.

Prime Video and Hrithik Roshan reunite for quirky heist comedy Mess
HRX Films expands pact with quirky heist comedy set for production
MUMBAI: Prime Video is doubling down on its partnership with Hrithik Roshan, announcing a new comedy film Mess that promises chaos, chuckles and a clever twist on the classic heist.
Produced by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions, the film is being made in association with Soda Films Lab. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, Mess marks the second collaboration between the streaming platform and HRX Films after the upcoming thriller Storm.
At the heart of Mess lies an unusual premise. A group of robbers break into the home of a man with OCD, only to find themselves outmatched in a night-long standoff that flips the script on who is really in control. It is a set-up that blends tension with humour, turning a break-in into a breakdown of expectations.
Prime Video India director and head of originals Nikhil Madhok said, “A good story should surprise and entertain, and Mess does both with ease. It brings together a unique premise, memorable characters and a tone that keeps you laughing throughout.”
He added that the collaboration with HRX Films continues to grow stronger, with the new film reflecting a shared appetite for bold and original storytelling.
Hrithik Roshan said, “After Storm, Mess feels like a natural next step in our journey with Prime Video. The film captures the kind of unconventional storytelling we want to champion, with Rajesh bringing a distinctive voice to the narrative.”
Director Rajesh A Krishnan said, “The world of Mess is a mix of comedy and chaos, unusual enough to keep audiences on edge while still delivering humour. It has been a deeply collaborative and creatively fulfilling experience.”
The original screenplay comes from Paul Soter, with adaptation and dialogues by Kapil Sawant, adding another layer of craft to the film’s offbeat narrative.
As production gears up, Mess looks ready to live up to its name, serving up a delightful tangle of mayhem, mischief and movie magic for audiences in India and beyond.
