Meet The New-Age Face of Marathi Entertainment, Rishi Manohar!

Every generation discovers a few performers who refuse to fit into a single box. Rishi Manohar is one of them.

Audiences have already taken notice of his work through memorable performances in Dada Ek Good News Aahe and Pet Puran, where his natural screen presence and relatable charm made him a familiar face among younger viewers. Away from the camera, he has continued to establish himself as a theatre-maker, earning recognition as a director and producer with multiple acclaimed productions to his credit.

Now, with his much-awaited feature film Cup Bashi set to release on 19th June, Rishi steps into a defining phase of his career. The film introduces him to a wider audience and positions him among the promising young leading men of Marathi cinema.

What sets Rishi apart is his unique combination of star appeal and artistic sensibility. Equally comfortable commanding a stage, performing before the camera, or shaping a story behind the scenes, he belongs to a rare breed of performers who understand every aspect of the craft.

At a remarkably young age, he has already earned nominations and accolades in theatre, collaborated with respected artists across the industry, and built a body of work that reflects both ambition and substance.

As Marathi entertainment continues to evolve, Rishi Manohar stands as one of its most exciting emerging voices — a performer with the charisma of a leading man, the vision of a filmmaker, and the hunger of an artist who believes his best work is still ahead of him.

With Cup Bashi arriving this June, audiences are about to witness the next chapter of a journey that has only just.
