Anees Bazmee shared the reason behind backing this film and states, "I came to Bombay at a young age, and the state has been instrumental in shaping my life. Over the years, I have deeply admired the exceptional quality of Marathi cinema, known for its compelling content and immensely talented actors, many of whom I am fortunate to call friends. When I came across this film, I was instantly drawn to its powerful narrative and the director’s remarkable talent. Having worked extensively with Marathi artists, I believe it is both a privilege and a responsibility to support and promote Marathi cinema, which continues to deliver such impactful storytelling."

Director Anees Bazmee says “Every time I shoot outside India, I find myself missing Maharashtra — my karmabhoomi, my creative home. There’s a certain energy, a rhythm here that fuels my work like nowhere else.”

The recently released teaser has added fuel to the fire of curiosity ignited by the film’s intense posters. Offering a glimpse into a world filled with eerie fear, the teaser hints at supernatural occurrences gripping a married woman and the sinister mystery lurking behind them.

Anita Date’s strikingly terrifying avatar—draped in a red saree, loose hair, vermillion on her forehead, and an intense gaze performing a ritual—sends chills down the spine, hinting at a dark secret buried within her character.

Directed by Rushikesh Gupte and produced by Amol Bhagat and Nitin Bhalchandra Kulkarni, and co produced by Manann Dania, Jarann stars powerhouses of talent Amruta Subhash and Anita Date, along with Kishor Kadam, Jyoti Malashe, Vikram Gaikwad, Rajan Bhise, Avani Joshi, and Seema Deshmukh in pivotal roles.

Talking about the film, director Rushikesh Gupte shares, “Jarann is a psychological and emotional journey that uncovers the impact of blind beliefs like witchcraft on human lives. It’s more than just a horror story—it’s a reflection of deep-seated superstitions and their haunting consequences.”

Producer Amol Bhagat adds, “The overwhelming response to the posters has been heartening. With the teaser, we aim to further grip the audience with the film’s intense atmosphere. The performances by Amruta Subhash and Anita Date are nothing short of phenomenal.”

Jarann explores the dark world of ancient superstitions, psychological struggles, and emotional complexities within a family, making it one of the most anticipated Marathi films of the year.
