Also seen was Shivaji Satam who made it a point to catch up with Vijaya.

Double ROLE!!!
Like a wisp of Cotton blown in different directions the one and a half hr. long marathi movie 'Shevri' tackles the plight of a woman. who is forced to come to terms with her life after a painful divorce. Neena Kulkarni's excitment is quite evident as she doles out information about 'Shevri' through which she takes a plunge into production. "The movie does not deal with any specific social issue. It's a movie that does not preach it makes the audience 'feel'. My movie presents incidents and leaves it to the viewers to react." says Kulkarni.
But ask her how this transition from being in front of the camera to behind the camera is? "Well my daughter Soha and I handled the production our selves. We did not hire a production manager.I feel when you get into something for the first time, you should get the experience yourself. We wanted to learn the ropes from the start." adds the confident Kulkarni.
Soha a student of J.J. Institute, has done the costumes for 'Shevri'.
From playing the doting mother on silver screen and now donning the hat of a producer, actress Neena Kulkarni has come a long way.
