The celebrated actor-director-producer Sachin Pilgaonkar has received immense praise for his recently released Marathi film 'Navra Maza Navsacha 2', which became the second-highest-grossing Marathi film of the year.

Sharing his thoughts, Sachin Pilgaonkar stated, "After the grand success of our Marathi film 'Navra Maza Navsacha 2', I am now looking forward to directing a Hindi film, a complete entertainer. I have been a commercial filmmaker, directing various films across different genres over the years. Commercial family entertainers are my forte. Since I have primarily directed Marathi films in recent years, I am now looking forward to directing a Hindi film once again. The immense love and support from the audience for my work have kept me on my toes, and even after 60 years in the industry, I still have the same passion and energy for cinema, which drives me to continue." The last Hindi film directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar was Jaana Pehchana, which was released in 2011.
