Zee Talkies to release Kaksparsh on 4 May
MUMBAI: Zee Talkies is all set to release Mahesh Manjrekar‘s Kaksparsh on 4 May. The film is touted as one of the milestones for not only the Marathi films but for National cinema as well.
Shot in the backdrop of the 1930- 1955 period, Kakasparsh revolves around the happenings in a Brahmin family.
Manjrekar said, “I did not choose Kakasparsh, the film chose me. This film was not included in my scheme of things. Rather I did not even know a film of this name existed. One day Sachin asked Girish Joshi the screenplay writer read out the script to me. That was it! I was possessed. The script hit me like a thunder bolt and I couldn‘t get it out of my system. Every single person involved, contributed immensely and today when I see the film, I feel proud of myself and my whole team. Kaksparsh is my best till date.”
Kaksparsh is a story of love, sacrifice, passion and values, set in Konkan. The movie raises many questions and leave behind a heart-throbbing experience in the minds of the viewers.
The story of the film has been written by Usha Datar with the screenplay and dialogues by Girish Joshi while Prashant Rane and Abhishek Vijaykar are art directors.
The film is produced by Manjrekar under his banner Great Maratha Entertainment and is presented by Zee Talkies.

Kridhan Infra enters film production with AI-led feature film
Infra firm debuts AI-powered film marking RSS centenary
MUMBAI: Kridhan Infra Limited is swapping hard hats for headsets. The infrastructure company has announced its entry into film production and media technology through its subsidiary, Kridhan Mediatech Private Limited, with the nationwide theatrical release of Shatak: Sangh Ke 100 Varsh, an AI-led feature film.
With Shatak, the company is not just stepping into cinema but staking a claim in what it describes as one of the world’s early full-length AI-driven feature films. Artificial Intelligence has been embedded across the creative and production process, from script visualisation and environment creation to modelling and production design.
The film commemorates 100 years of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, tracing defining moments, personalities and historical phases that shaped its journey. By combining archival storytelling with algorithm-powered creativity, the project attempts to blend heritage with high technology.
For Kridhan Mediatech, this is only the opening scene. The subsidiary’s broader ambition spans AI, CGI, virtual production systems and scalable content models for both theatres and digital platforms. The move signals a strategic diversification for Kridhan Infra, traditionally rooted in engineering and construction.
The timing aligns with India’s growing push to become a global AI powerhouse. At the 2026 AI Impact Summit, prime minister Narendra Modi urged innovators to design in India and deliver to the world. Kridhan Mediatech’s initiative positions itself squarely within that narrative, aiming to export technology-enabled storytelling beyond domestic audiences.
India’s media and entertainment industry, valued at over Rs 2.5 lakh crore, alongside a rapidly expanding AI economy projected to cross Rs 1.4 lakh crore in the coming years, offers fertile ground at the intersection of cinema and code.
“With Shatak, we proudly present one of the world’s first AI-led full-length feature films while marking our strategic entry into film production and media technology through our subsidiary,” the company said in a statement. “Our vision is to combine India’s rich narrative heritage with forward-looking innovation. This is just the beginning of building globally competitive, technology-enabled cinematic experiences.”
From infrastructure to imagination, Kridhan’s latest venture suggests that in today’s India, even storytelling can be engineered.
