Renuka Shahane Highlights Challenges In Marathi Cinema: 'We're Competing With Hindi Films'
Last Updated: Renuka Shahane discussed Marathi cinema's financial struggles at News18's SheShakti event, emphasising storytelling despite funding issues. Veteran actor and filmmaker Renuka Shahane was a guest speaker at News18's SheShakti event, along with Shriya Pilgaonkar. She recently shed light on the harsh realities that the Marathi cinema is currently facing, pointing out the financial limitations that restrict freedom in the industry. In a candid reflection, Renuka Shahane addressed the economic pressures that Marathi filmmakers routinely face. 'Unfortunately, Marathi films are governed by the economics of it," she said. 'If you go beyond that, then you can be completely free with your thoughts and content." Highlighting the risk-averse nature of film production, Shahane added, 'Right now, it's difficult for any producer to sit on a winged horse and fly off into the sunset, unless he is going to get his money back. That is a huge issue for us because distribution and everything. We are in direct competition with Hindi cinema. It's very tough." Despite these hurdles, she believes Marathi cinema continues to carve its niche through powerful storytelling. 'Yet we are trying to do that with content because that's where we can tell very rooted stories, which might not require that amount of money," she explained, expressing hope in the strength of regional narratives. Her comments resonate at a time when regional cinema is increasingly gaining recognition but still grapples with funding, distribution, and market competition — especially when up against the commercial might of Hindi films. The Hum Aapke Hain Koun actor also addressed pay parity in the film industry. Citing her own example, Shahane said, 'I was a character actor in films. That, in any case, is a huge parity between character actors and main actors. You must accept hierarchy with grace. You have to fight for what you think you are worth." Shriya, who was also a part of the panel, spoke about how films and OTT shows are, evolving for the better. 'A lot has changed for the better. You have seen love stories of women who are in a certain age bracket. The idea that there is a certain age bracket for an actor is also changing. Some battles like pay parity very much exist," quoted the Mandala Murders actor. First Published: July 31, 2025, 20:39 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
