“Also there are three releases this year, first ‘Pad Man’ this month, then ‘Veere Di Wedding’ in May and then Dutt biopic, so I will be busy with films. So, there is no time for other plans.” said Sonam.
Talking about Marathi cinema, Sonam said she is glad that the industry is being recognised for its worth.
“Marathi films and songs have become very trendy right now. But people aren’t aware of the years of hard work and quality work that happened earlier. But I am so glad that it has become so popular now that even we have to come and promote our films on the Marathi platform,” she said.
