Actress-producer Genelia Deshmukh is excited about the commencement of shooting of Marathi film Mauli, backed by her and husband Riteish Deshmukh.

"Our most ambitious Marathi film goes on floor. Mauli. Starring Riteish, directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, written by Kshitij Patwardhan. Wish us luck," Genelia tweeted on Monday.

This will be Riteish's second Marathi project as an actor after his successful acting debut in Marathi cinema with Lai Bhaari.

The action drama, Mauli, is produced by Genelia and Riteish's production venture - Mumbai Film Company.

“As an actor, I’ve always wanted to experiment with various genres and thankfully, in the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to do so.<i> </i>Lai Bhaari made me believe I could attempt the action drama genre and after I read the script of Mauli, I knew I was ready for my second Marathi film.”
