Both the films are likely to go on floors this year.
Besides these two Marathi films, Ashwiny will be directing Ayushmann Khurrana-Bhoomi Pednekar starrer Manmarziyan. Some portions of Manmarziyan were shot by director Sameer Sharma. But apparently due to creative differences with the producer, Sharma is no more directing the film.
Manmarziyan is an upcoming romantic film produced by Anand L Rai.
