“Majhi Prarthana”, a Marathi film set to release in theaters on May 9, 2025, is grabbing attention for more than just its plot.
The trailer for the film was recently released on YouTube and has already sparked curiosity.
One standout moment in the trailer is the body transformation of a fit and healthy character. This transformation is particularly interesting because it was performed by the director himself, Padmaraj Rajgopal Nair.
The Director’s Dedication to His Film
Padmaraj Rajgopal Nair not only directed Majhi Prarthana, but he also played the lead role.
He didn’t just direct the film; he also wrote the story, dialogues, and screenplay.
What makes this even more impressive is that he lost 53 kgs of weight to achieve the dramatic transformation shown in the film.
This is a remarkable achievement, as such a drastic change is not easy to achieve.
