The motion poster of the upcoming Marathi film Khagras introduces a mysterious setting built around a solar eclipse and a disturbing warning. The poster carries the line, “जेव्हा चंद्र सूर्याला झाकतो, तेव्हा सावली रक्ताने भरते”, which translates to “When the moon covers the sun, the shadow fills with blood.” The visual and tagline hint at a story filled with secrets, suspense and unsettling events, although the makers have not yet revealed the complete plot.
The poster leaves several questions unanswered, including what the eclipse means for the characters and how it connects to the mystery at the centre of the film. Details about the events that unfold and the secrets the characters may be hiding remain under wraps.
Subodh Bhave and Siddharth Menon lead the cast
Khagras features an ensemble cast that includes Subodh Bhave, Siddharth Menon, Sanskruti Balgude, Kshitish Date, Swanandi Tikekar, Rahul Pethे, Sayali Pathak and Ananya Jawale.
The makers have not disclosed details about the characters or their roles in the story. It also remains unclear how the different characters are connected and what part they will play in the mystery. The motion poster introduces the film’s atmosphere without offering a detailed look at its narrative.
Devesh V. Kamat writes and directs Khagras
The film is presented by Akash Pendharkar and Parag Mehta. Devesh V. Kamat has written and directed the project, which is produced by Rakesh Jawale, Kiran Jawale, Kirti Jawale and Ashutosh Sharma. Swapnesh Sawant, Flying Bullet Pictures and Shotad Motion Pictures are the co-producers.
Speaking about the film, director Devesh V. Kamat says, “रहस्यपटाची खरी ताकद ही प्रेक्षकांना प्रत्येक टप्प्यावर विचार करायला लावण्यात असते. ‘खग्रास’मध्ये कथा, व्यक्तिरेखा आणि त्यांच्याभोवती निर्माण होणारे गूढ यांचा असा मेळ साधण्याचा प्रयत्न केला आहे की, प्रेक्षकांना प्रत्येक क्षणी पुढे काय घडणार, याची उत्सुकता वाटत राहील. या कथेसाठी इतके उत्तम कलाकार एकत्र येणे ही आमच्यासाठी मोठी गोष्ट आहे. पोस्टरमधून निर्माण झालेली उत्सुकता चित्रपट पाहताना नक्कीच अधिक वाढेल, अशी आशा आहे.”
Producer Rakesh Jawale shares his thoughts
Producer Rakesh Jawale says, “‘खग्रास’सारखी गूढ आणि वेगळ्या धाटणीची कथा प्रेक्षकांसमोर आणताना आम्हाला विशेष आनंद होत आहे. या चित्रपटासाठी एकत्र आलेली कलाकारांची फळी ही त्याची मोठी ताकद आहे. प्रत्येक कलाकाराने आपल्या भूमिकेतून कथेला वेगळे परिमाण दिले आहे. लवकरच हा चित्रपट प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीला घेऊन येत आहोत.”
With the motion poster now released, Khagras has offered a first look at its mysterious setting while keeping the main story hidden. The film’s release date and further plot details are yet to be announced.
