MUMBAI: Riteish Deshmukh’s love for Marathi films is well-known as he declared some time ago that he wanted to act in them.

But with no fruitful offers coming his way, Deshmukh has now decided to produce Marathi films, thus adding another feather to his cap. The actor‘s love for Marathi cinema is one of the main reasons why he has ventured to become a filmmaker. 

The actor has now joined the league of a few select actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Akshay Kuamr and others who have turned producers.

Though his main interest would be to produce Marathi films, it may be sometime later that the actor might also venture into producing a full-fledged Hindi film too.
