The premiere of Ata Thambaycha Naay! turned into a grand celebration last night as the entire ensemble cast and several notable film industry stalwarts gathered under one roof to toast the upcoming release of this much-anticipated Marathi film. The red carpet lit up with appearances by lead actors Bharat Jadhav, Siddhartha Jadhav, Ashutosh Gowarikar, Prajakta Hanamghar, Kiran Khoje, Rohini Hattangadi, Parna Pethe, Om Bhutkar, Pravin Dalimbkar, Rupa Borgaonkar, and Shrikant Yadav. They were joined by eminent names like Mahesh Manjrekar and Anjali Patil, adding extra sparkle to the evening.
Co-written and directed by Shivraj Waichal, Ata Thambaycha Naay! is a heart-touching ode to the grit, resilience, and often-overlooked contributions of the employees of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Produced by Chalk and Cheese Films, Film Jazz, and Zee Studios, the film blends realism with emotion, bringing to life a narrative inspired by true events.
What sets this project apart is not just its impressive ensemble cast but its rooted storytelling — a powerful reflection of everyday heroes who work behind the scenes to keep the city moving. From sanitation workers to administrative staff, the film shines a spotlight on those who rarely get their due in mainstream cinema.
Officially announced in December 2024, Ata Thambaycha Naay! is set for a fitting theatrical release on May 1, 2025, coinciding with Maharashtra Day — a date that echoes the film’s deep cultural and social resonance.
As the industry buzzes with praise post-premiere, this grounded, people-first drama looks poised to make both hearts swell and heads turn.
