Anees Bazmee Ventures Into Marathi Cinema With Jarann, Trailer Out Now
Last Updated:
Anees Bazmee's debut Marathi film features National Award-winning actor Amruta Subhash.
Acclaimed filmmaker Anees Bazmee is ready to foray into Marathi cinema, debuting with his upcoming psychological horror film Jarann. Starring National Award-winning actor Amruta Subhash, the first trailer has finally been released with some chilling visuals and an unsettling mood. Bazmee is known for delivering some major Bollywood hits like Welcome, No Entry, Singh Is Kinng, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
A trailer launch event was held in Mumbai on Friday, with several celebrities in attendance, like Jackie Shroff, Anil Sharma, Raj Mehta, Vikas Bahl, and Bazmee himself.
At the event, the filmmaker expressed his excitement about expanding into Marathi cinema with a story that he hopes will resonate beyond language barriers. 'This subject is deeply rooted in our society. Personally, I don't believe in ghosts—but if you asked me to go to a deserted mansion at 2 a.m., I wouldn't go. That's because I've witnessed a lot over time. Some people do practice black magic, and many hold strange, deep-seated beliefs. This kind of superstition has existed in our society for generations, and it's not something that can be erased overnight," he said, giving hints about the narrative.
Previously, in a statement, Bazmee shared how he admired the depth and quality of Marathi cinema. 'When I saw this film's narrative, I was immediately drawn to its strength and the director's vision. It's a privilege to support such meaningful storytelling," he added, as per the Times of India.
Coming back to the trailer, Amruta Subhash will be seen as a married woman whose ordinary life takes an unexpected turn due to some unexplainable eerie incidents. The video opens to show several happy family moments, only to show the woman encountering unusual things in her house. Moments later, Amruta will be seen exhibiting signs of possession, leaving her family members terrified.
Apart from Amruta Subhash, other cast members include Anita Date Kelkar, Kishor Kadam, Jyoti Malshe, Rajan Bhise, Seema Deshmukh, Vikram Gaikwad, Avanee Joshi and Durva Deodhar in key roles. Presented by Anees Bazmee in association with A&N Cinema LLP, Jarann is written and directed by Rushikesh Gupte.
The film will be released on June 5.

Sabrina Carpenter slammed for new album Man's Best Friend cover: Internet says she's feeding the male gaze
Sabrina Carpenter's new album is already generating major buzz, but not for reasons she may have expected. On June 11, the Grammy-winning singer announced her seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, which drops August 29. Alongside the announcement came the album artwork alleged to be its cover, which shows Carpenter, 26, kneeling on all fours as a man stands behind her holding her hair. The imagery immediately sparked backlash online, with many accusing her of playing into the male gaze when she could have empowered women with the influence she has. What is 'Man's Best Friend' about? The album title Man's Best Friend was already raising a few eyebrows, but the visuals took things to another level. It didn't help that the lead single, Manchild, which dives into messy gender dynamics and toxic relationships, dropped right before. The song shot to No. 1 on both Spotify U.S. and Global charts, and the music video has already pulled in over 17 million views on YouTube. To top it off, Sabrina shared a cropped pic of a dog sporting a blue collar with a heart-shaped tag that reads 'Man's Best Friend'. Reddit slams Sabrina Carpenter's new album cover On Reddit's pop culture forum r/Fauxmoi, users criticised the album cover for its alleged male gaze tropes. One user commented, 'I'm going to be that person and say she's not beating the 'catering to the male gaze' allegations. What are we doing here?' Another commented, 'Sabrina, if what brings you joy is being treated like a dog by men in private, that's between you, them, and your therapist. But don't promote it like it's empowering.' One user stated, 'I never understood the appeal of female degradation. Certain kinks aren't empowering, healing, or helpful to women. They're just weirdly normalized now.'erstood the appeal of female degradation. Certain kinks aren't empowering, healing, or helpful to women. They're just weirdly normalized now.' Others pointed out the stark contrast between what celebrities like Carpenter could choose to represent and what they actually put forward. 'Being a woman is degrading enough,' one Redditor wrote. 'Why would I want my loved ones to degrade me too?' One commenter implied, "So she is posing 'like a dog' on an album called 'Man's Best Friend'?' Like, she's supposed to be a submissive animal for a man who owns her or something? Is that what this whole thing is implying?' The internet compares Sabrina's latest move to Sydney Sweeney's The criticism gained even more traction when fans began comparing Carpenter's rollout to Sydney Sweeney's recent marketing move. Just days ago, Sweeney faced similar backlash after launching her bathwater-infused soap line in collaboration with Dr. Squatch, an ad campaign some felt was 'a satire of itself,' tapping into fetishistic humour in a way that didn't sit right with everyone. Meanwhile, despite the backlash, there's no denying Carpenter is having a massive year. She recently took home two Grammy Awards for her previous album, Short n' Sweet, and its hit single, Espresso. The second leg of her sold-out Short n' Sweet tour kicks off this October, riding the momentum of her continued commercial success.
