Having established himself as a successful and critically acclaimed filmmaker in the Marathi film industry, Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar made a remarkable debut in Hindi cinema with Chhatriwali (2023). The film was well-received by audiences, industry professionals, and critics alike. Now, the filmmaker is gearing up for his first release of 2025—Devmanus. The Marathi film features a stellar cast, including Mahesh Manjrekar, Renuka Shahane, Subodh Bhave and others.
Sharing his excitement about collaborating with Mahesh Manjrekar for the first time, Tejas expresses, “Mahesh Sir is not just an actor but also a writer, director, and producer. He understands the business of cinema and every aspect of filmmaking. Working with him has been an incredible learning opportunity. During his free time, we would discuss cinema and the creative process in depth. I call him ‘the walking school of cinema.’”
Deoskar added, “He once shared a particular insight that helped me save a lot of money during post-production, drawing from his own experiences. Beyond that, he provided invaluable guidance—whether in directing a film, managing actors, or recounting his experiences working with industry stalwarts like Nana Patekar sir and Salman Khan sir. From handling actors to persuading them to bring a director’s vision to life, I have learned so much from Mahesh sir.”
Reflecting on how Devmanus came to be, Tejas revealed, “When I narrated the script to him, he agreed to do it instantly. That was a huge moment for me because we have known each other for a long time. I used to play in his cricket team around 2008, and we shared some great moments on the field. He is a passionate cricket enthusiast, and his team included many young, creative minds from the industry. Although we had never worked together before, that bond was already there. Casting him in Devmanus was like fulfilling a bucket-list dream. We share the same passion for cricket and cinema, which made this collaboration even more special.”
Tejas has an exciting line-up of releases this year, starting with Devmanus, which is set to hit theatres on April 25, followed by Excel Entertainment’s Ground Zero, featuring Emraan Hashmi and Sai Tamhankar. With a career that seamlessly spans both Marathi and Hindi cinema, Tejas continues to tell impactful stories, leaving a significant mark in Indian filmmaking.
