After producing the national award and commercially successful Marathi film Ventilator last year, Priyanka Chopra and Dr Madhu Chopra’s production House, Purple Pebble Pictures is back with their next project, Firebrand, to be helmed by National Award winning writer and director Aruna Raje.

Living up to the interesting title of the film, the drama that goes on floors today features veteran actors from the Marathi industry including Usha Jadhav, Girish Kulkarni, Sachin Khedekar and Rajeshwari Sachdev.

While Usha plays a successful lawyer Sunanda, Girish essays the role of her husband Madhav Patkar, an architect by profession. Sachin and Rajeshwari play a couple in the movie which is high on drama.

Madhu adds, “The general acceptance from the family audience for Ventilator has once again reinstated my faith in backing scripts with high emotional values, interesting characters that are also entertaining.”

Aruna says, “Firebrand is a contemporary story about relationships and the highs and lows people deal with in their lives. I am glad that Priyanka Chopra and Dr Madhu Chopra are focussing on regional cinema and backing unusual and good subjects in an endeavour to create meaningful cinema.”
