After ‘Charchaughi’, Rohini Hattangadi and Mukta Barve Reunite for ‘Maya’!

Fresh off captivating audiences with their portrayal of a mother-daughter bond in the acclaimed Marathi play Charachaughi, veteran actresses #RohiniHattangadi and #MuktaBarve are teaming up again—this time on the big screen in the upcoming Marathi film Maya.

Following the women-centric Charachaughi, Maya features both stars in roles as independent, self-respecting women with strong self-awareness. Their blend of experience and nuanced acting is already raising expectations sky-high.

Rohini Hattangadi’s performances subtly unravel deep emotions, while Mukta Barve embodies the modern, empowered woman. Together in Maya, they’ll deliver not just stellar acting but a bold depiction of the multifaceted female psyche.

Rohini Hattangadi shares, “Working with Mukta again is incredibly fulfilling. She’s a sensitive, thoughtful actress who’s deeply honest about her craft. Scenes with her make the character richer—acting isn’t just dialogue; it’s lived experience, and Mukta embraces it wholeheartedly. Every moment with her enriches me as an actress.”

Mukta Barve reflects, “Reuniting with Rohini Tai is a learning journey for me. Her calm wisdom, insightful grasp of scenes, and acting depth constantly inspire. On set, acting flows naturally. She’s lived life and acting profoundly, and it shines in every role. Working with such an artist is true fortune.”

Produced by Shalini Cinemaz and Nitin Vaidya Productions, Maya is brought to you by Dr. Sunil Datar, Alka Madhukar Datar, and Nitin Prakash Vaidya. Directed by Aditya Ingle, the film stars Mukta Barve and Rohini Hattangadi alongside Girish Oak, Siddharth Chandekar, and Vijay Kenkre in key roles. Set for nationwide release on February 27, 2026, Maya—already buzzing from its poster—explores self-discovery and freedom amid tangled relationships, poised to resonate deeply with audiences.
