Matondkar, who is making a comeback to Marathi cinema after her 2014 film “Ajoba”, said she fell in love with the script of “Ti Me Navhech” and didn’t want to let go of the opportunity to be working on the movie.
“I loved the script that Paritosh narrated and it also stars an amazing talent like Shreyas. When the team approached me, I just couldn’t resist,” the 48-year-old actor said in a statement.
