Brought to life by Mahashri Production and Yuvraj Cine Creation, Ashtapadi is a creative collaboration between producers Uttkarsh Jain and Mahendra Patil. Interestingly, Uttkarsh Jain dons the director’s hat as well, while the foundation of the film’s narrative — the story, screenplay, and dialogues — has been penned by Mahendra Patil, who also serves as the film’s creative director.

The trailer opens with a captivating verse: “Kunich nasava avatibhavati, samor tu astana…” — instantly setting a lyrical and romantic tone. Actor Santosh Juvekar steps into the role of a poetic soul, while Mayuri Kapadane adds elegance and emotion as the muse, giving the audience a glimpse into a tender, heartfelt connection.

The visuals are layered with elements of romance, longing, and unspoken emotions, sparking intrigue about the triangular dynamic at the heart of the story. With two male leads and one female lead, the film delicately explores love from different angles — leaving audiences wondering who truly finds fulfillment. Backed by expressive music and thought-provoking dialogues, Ashtapadi weaves together artful storytelling, authentic performances, and strong production values.

Director-producer #UttkarshJain shares that Ashtapadi is not just a love story — it’s an exploration of complex modern relationships. According to him, viewers will connect deeply with the emotional undertones and recognize parts of their own lives reflected on screen. He also added that if the film proves financially successful, a portion of the profits will be donated to the National Defense Fund — a heartfelt gesture of gratitude and social responsibility.

The film boasts a robust ensemble cast, including #SantoshJuvekar, #MayuriKapadane, #AbhinayPatekar, #MilindPhatak, #MonaKamat, #SwapnilRajshekhar, #MadhavAbhyankar, #VishalArjun, #VinitaKale, #ChandaSarsekar, #KalpanaRane, along with Uttkarsh Jain, #MahendraPatil, and #NayanaBidve. The soul-stirring music has been composed by Milind More, with lyrics by Ganesh Cheulkar and Prashant Jamdar, while the background score further elevates the emotional quotient of the film.

Key contributors behind the scenes include Dhanraj Wagh (cinematography), Atul Shidhaye (makeup), Anjali Khobrekar and Swapna Raut (costumes), Nilesh Rasal (art direction), Digvijay Joshi (choreography), and Ajay Khade (executive producer).
