Madhur Bhandarkar, a celebrated filmmaker known for his unique storytelling, recently wrapped up the filming of his latest project, The Wives. Initially named The Wives Of Bollywood, the film has now reverted to its original title. This change comes after feedback indicated that audiences were confused about the film’s focus.
In a recent conversation, Bhandarkar explained, “When I told people about The Wives, many would mistakenly think it was called The Wife. Others were unclear about what kind of wives the film highlighted—were they corporate wives, politicians’ wives, or housewives? This led us to decide on the clear title of The Wives Of Bollywood.”
He added that the new title is more intuitive. “Now, when I mention the title, people can easily understand what the film is about and which specific group of wives we are exploring. It aligns better with the film’s genre, helping viewers connect more easily.”
Bhandarkar also shared progress on post-production, stating that editing is complete and work on VFX and the background score is underway. He mentioned that the VFX process was time-consuming but should be finished soon, as his immediate goal is to obtain the censor copy.
The film features an impressive cast, including Sonali Kulkarni, Mouni Roy, and Regina Cassandra, along with Rahul Bhat and others. This marks Bhandarkar’s second collaboration with producer Pranav Jain, following their recent success with India Lockdown.
Fans of the filmmaker can look forward to a compelling look at the dynamics within Bollywood through The Wives Of Bollywood.
