In a defining moment for Indian cinema’s spiritual
storytelling, Curzon Films in association with Purushottam Studios, has
announced their most ambitious production yet — Sant Tukaram, a sweeping
feature film based on the life, legacy, and lyrical revolution of the
17th-century Marathi saint-poet who transformed devotion into resistance. The
film made on a grand scale comes up with historical authenticity, cinematic
craft, and a powerful theatrical experience. Written and directed by acclaimed
filmmaker Aditya Om, the film is headlined by very popular Marathi actor Subodh
Bhave, who steps into the iconic role of Sant Tukaram. Known for his deeply
nuanced performances across Marathi and Hindi cinema, Bhave brings a rare
combination of emotional depth and spiritual gravitas to the screen. His
portrayal is expected to capture the quiet strength, inner turmoil, and divine
transcendence of the 17th-century saint whose words sparked a devotional
revolution. The film is scheduled for global release in the cinemas on 18th
July 2025 and promises an intimate yet powerful interpretation of a man whose
silence spoke louder than rebellion and whose poetry became a timeless voice of
truth.
Set against the layered backdrop of 17th-century
Maharashtra, the film will trace Tukaram’s transformation from a grieving
husband to a voice that spoke for the voiceless through his spiritually
electrified Abhanga poetry.
The film also boasts a stellar ensemble cast that
enriches the narrative canvas with range and depth. Acclaimed actors such as
Shiva Suryavanshi, Sheena Chohan, Sanjay Mishra, Arun Govil, Shishir Sharma,
Hemant Pandey, Ganesh Yadav, Lalit Tiwari, Mukesh Bhatt, Gauri Shankar, Twinkle
Kapoor, Rupali Jadhav and DJ Akbar Sami will bring to life key characters in
Tukaram’s spiritual and social journey. Lending an iconic presence to the film,
veteran actor Mukesh Khanna will serve as the narrator, providing philosophical
insight and contextual grounding with his trademark voice and gravitas.
The soundtrack composed by Nikhil Kamath, Ravi
Tripathi, and Veeral & Laavan, will be deeply rooted in the Abhanga
tradition, combining classical and folk influences to create a musical
landscape that is both devotional and dramatic. Each song will echo the
emotional and philosophical evolution of Tukaram’s character, inviting
audiences to feel his bhakti as well as his pain, his surrender as well as his
resistance.
Produced by B.Gautham’s Curzon Films in association
with Purushottam Studios, the film is being designed as a pan-India cinematic
experience, intended to resonate with audiences across linguistic, regional,
and spiritual boundaries.
