Riteish, who has featured in as well as produced multiple Marathi films, said, "Marathi films have always had good content but I believe they should be accompanied by collaboration"
At the launch of NDTV's new Marathi channel, actor Riteish Deshmukh spoke about success and failure as well as the Marathi film industry. "NDTV Marathi Lai Bhaari," he said about NDTV's new channel, referring to the title of his well-received 2014 Marathi film - "lai bhaari" translates to overwhelming. "It was my wish to have a new voice in Marathi journalism and now it has come. So I feel good to be associated with NDTV Marathi," Riteish said at the launch. The actor, who has featured in as well as produced multiple Marathi films, added, "Marathi films have always had good content, but I believe they should be accompanied by collaboration. This is what I have tried."
Riteish Deshmukh added, "Failure cannot teach you as much success as it teaches. So get up when you fall and try again, you will definitely get success. The question was on the failure in startups. Don't be a satellite parent to your kids. Go out on the field and play with them... I go to the field with my children and encourage them to play."
