MUMBAI: Actress Madhuri Dixit, who is known for ‘Tridev’, ‘Tezaab’, ‘Saajan’, ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, has shared the idea behind her upcoming production.

Produced by RNM Moving Pictures, ‘Panchak’ is shot in Konkan region. It is a dark comedy that deals with the fear of superstition and death. The film features an ensemble cast of the finest artistes from the Marathi film and television industry, and theatre, and is shot in picturesque Konkan.

This film marks the second production of RNM Moving Pictures after 15th August which was released directly on OTT and received rave reviews.
