It's not even a month since the terrible tragedy in the Mangeshkar family. Asha Bhosle's 56-year-old daughter Varsha Bhosle took her own life at the Peddar Road residence. Predictably so, the singer has turned into a recluse ever since. Bearing the burnt of Asha-ji's great loss is the team behind her much anticipated acting debut Mai. The Marathi language film about a memory-challenged mother, who is abandoned by her sons, was tio initially open on November 23. However, the release has now been postponed...indefinitely.
When contacted, the director of Mai Mahesh Kodyal said, "My career as a director depends on Mai. It's my first film.Unfortunately, this terrible tragedy happened. Given the circumstances, we can't even dream of asking Asha-ji to promote the film. We'll just have to wait until she is feeling up to it. Sad.....But it can't be helped."
A source close to the project said,"Asha-ji is just not in the frame of mind to promote the film. And she plays the title role. She is the face of Mai. Her debut as an actress at the age of 80 is our USP. Without her, the project has no relevance. So, we just have to wait for her to heal from the emotional setback that she has suffered."
