Shah Rukh Khan said, “The first film is very important and it’s like your first child. I know Vikram since a long time and I’m aware that he takes lot of efforts in his projects. I hope Vikram make movies in Hindi as well. All the best to the whole team of Hrudayantar. Have a great shoot and inshallah make a beautiful film!”

Producer-director Vikram Phadnis said, “Marathi cinema has come of age. I think there is a time and space for every kind of genre and films. I’m a Maharashtrian, I speak the language and I’m comfortable with the language. I think the story that I wanted to tell, I got great artists for the same including Mukta Barve and Subodh Bhave. When I found right characters, I think it was the right time to make it in Marathi. It’s not that I don’t want to make a film in Hindi. The sensibility of the kind of cinema I want to make, the story I want to tell and the right casting… I just thought it was the right time to make a Marathi film. “

Producer Pratap Sarnaik said, “I’m fortunate to be associated with my friend Vikram’s first film. I’m glad that his story will be showcased on the big screen. In Marathi film industry, we see films crossing Rs 100 crores and I’m sure Hrudayantar will create a new record.”
