The actor took to social media to announce his directorial debut, which will also mark wife Genelia Deshmukh’s foray into Marathi cinema. Besides her, the film stars actor Jiya Shankar. “After being in front of the camera for 20 years, I take a big leap to stand behind it for the first time. As I direct my first Marathi film, I humbly ask you [to] be a part of this journey, be a part of this madness,” Riteish wrote.
