Anecdotes

April May 99 is a 2025 Indian Marathi-language coming-of-age film directed by Rohan Mapuskar in his directorial debut. The film stars Sajiri Joshi, Aaryan Menghji, Shreyas Thorat, and Manthan Kanekar in lead roles, supported by an ensemble cast. Set in 1999 in Shrivardhan, a coastal village in Maharashtra's Konkan region, the film follows four teenagers whose friendships are tested during a transformative summer in the pre-digital era.

Production

April May 99 marks the directorial debut of Rohan Mapuskar, a casting director with experience in Hindi and Marathi cinema. Mapuskar co-wrote the film with Bimal Oberoi and Kunal Pawar. The screenplay took approximately four years to develop, drawing significantly from Mapuskar's childhood experiences in Shrivardhan during the late 1990s.

The film features an ensemble cast selected by director Rohan Mapuskar. The four teenage protagonists: Aaryan Menghji, Shreyas Thorat, and Manthan Kanekar had previously appeared in films and television, while the film marked Sajiri Joshi's acting debut. Joshi was initially cast by Mapuskar in an earlier project that did not materialise.

Principal photography took place in 2024 in Shrivardhan, located in Maharashtra's Raigad district. Director Rohan Mapuskar, who moved from Shrivardhan to Mumbai in 2005, chose to return to his hometown to authentically capture the village's landscape and atmosphere. The film's Konkan setting forms an integral part of its narrative and contributes to its nostalgic tone.
