Chunky Pandey is gearing up to make his Marathi film debut with Vikun Taak. The film directed by Sameer Patil and produced by Uttung Thakur focuses on real-life problems of the underprivileged class in rural areas.

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey, known to new-generation fans as Aakhri Pasta in the Housefull series, is set to make his Marathi film debut with Vikun Taak.

The actor shared the poster on his Instagram handle and wrote, "From Mama Mia to Wala Wala 😅❤ My first Marathi Film🕺🥂 फुल ॲान मनोरंजनाच्या गावात गड्या चल आनंदीआनंद घेऊन टाक...चंकी पांडे येतोय मराठी चित्रपटात म्हणतोय ‘विकून टाक‘."

"Doing a film in Marathi, and a socio-comedy genre has always been on my wishlist. Marathi humour cannot be compared. I just love the language. Being born in Mumbai, speaking Marathi has never been a problem because if Hindi is my mother tongue, Marathi is my father tongue," said the actor, who is teenybopper heartthrob Ananya Panday's father.

The film directed by Sameer Patil and produced by Uttung Thakur focuses on real-life problems of the underprivileged class in rural areas. Satire has been used to tackle the issue.

Thakur is known for producing slice-of-life genre films like Balak-Palak and Yellow.

"Through my films, I always want to depict cinema wherein a viewer is not just entertained but enlightened. I take a personal interest in the film's content and subject and choose a film accordingly. Vikun Taak has a new ring to it and tackles the genre differently. It truly touched me," said Thakur.
