During the launch of his book Sangeet Bari in August 2014, writer Bhushan Korgaonkar and director Savitri Medhatul did 15 shows of the folk form in Marathi under Kali Billi productions. In the audience were those who didn't understand the language but enjoyed the performances. “The narration, too is an equally important part which was getting lost. Some suggested to translate into Hindi or English, and our friends Gauri Konge, Vikas Zutshi and writer Manisha Korde helped translate the script,” says Korgaonkar. The first Hindi production opened at the NCPA Ananda Festival in May 2017.
