Script is the spirit of Marathi films. And if it is based on the popular writer’s novel, it adds to the advantage of the film. Producer- director Sameer Ramesh Surve’s debut film ‘Shree Partner’ is based on Vapu Kale’s popular story ‘Partner’. To give a cinematic look to this story, Mr. Surve has acquired rights from V.P. Kale’s daughter Swati Chandorkar.
