Shreyas to perform an item song in Marathi home production

Actor Shreyas Talpade is set to surprise all as he will be performing an item song for his upcoming Marathi film 'Poshter Boyz'.
'Poshter Boyz' is the actor-turned-producer's next production, under his banner Affluence Movies Private Limited.
"I was positive that I will not be acting in the film. I think it is important for a producer to be able to take detached harsh decisions. This is tough to do if you act or direct the film," Shreyas, 38, said in a statement here.
The song will feature Shreyas himself. Originally it was to be shot with the film's three leading actors Dilip Prabhavalkar, Aniket Vishwasrao and Hrishikesh Joshi.

"I was sitting with my producer Deepti Talpade, co-producer Hadi Ali Abrar and director Sameer Patil when this (idea of item song) came up. Initially I was a bit reluctant but my team was convinced that my presence in the video will increase its reach, so I gave in," Shreyas said.
"But then we decided not to tell anyone else and let it come as a surprise to the rest of the team. It is my first Marathi 'item number' as they call it and I hope the audience likes it," he said.

The promotional number is also the title track of the film. Composed by legendary singer-composer Leslie Lewis the song has a mix of traditional Marathi rhythm and the modern sound.

The song also has Marathi rap sequence in it and it will be released soon online for general public.
The Marathi feature film directed by Sameer Patil stars Dilip, Aniket, Hrishikesh, Pooja Sawant and Neha Joshi among others. It is slated to release on July 4 this year.
