Genelia D'Souza has been a breath of fresh air in the world of Indian cinema ever since her debut in 2003. Since then, the actress has transcended borders and has been declared a fan favourite across languages. Now, after making a mark in south Indian films and Bollywood, Genelia D'Souza is all set to step into the world of Marathi cinema with Vedd. While the stakes are undoubtedly high, Genelia D'Souza believes in having fun while at work. She has shared a video from the sets of the film.
The clip features Genelia D'Souza and her team dancing to the song Title by Meghan Trainor. Sharing the clip, Genelia wrote, “The nicest thing about teamwork is that you always have people on your side. Work hard, party harder.” She further added, “Vedd, because the madness is special.”
With Vedd, Genelia D'Souza will be returning to acting after 10 years. She will be sharing screen space with her husband, Riteish Deshmukh, who is also debuting as a director with this movie. The project is being backed by the couple's production house, Mumbai Film Company.
Genelia D'Souza confirmed the news on Instagram by sharing a video from the first day of the shoot on Instagram. In a note, she said, “Have been blessed to be part of movies in so many languages and receive love and respect from all…Being born in Maharashtra, my heart yearned to do a film in Marathi for years and was hoping there would be a script where I could just say this is it.”
Speaking about Vedd, Genelia D'Souza added, “And, then this happened - My first Marathi film, me coming back to acting after 10 long years and being part of a dream where my husband Riteish Deshmukh directs for the first time and I get to share space with a beautiful co-actor Jiya Shankar who gets introduced under our production house MFC. I would humbly request loads of blessings from each one of you because films are always a journey and we would love if you could be on this journey with us…Vedd (Madness).
Riteish Deshmukh had announced his directorial debut with a social media post. Sharing a poster and other details, the actor said, “After being in front of the camera for 20 years, I take a big leap to stand behind it for the first time. As I direct my first Marathi film, I humbly ask you all for your good wishes and blessings. Be a part of this journey, be a part of this madness.”
