Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi is a 1988 Indian Marathi-language slapstick comedy buddy film directed by Sachin and produced by Kiran Shantaram. The film is regarded as a cult film in Marathi cinema due to its overwhelming reception.

Production

Sachin chose to play the dual role of Sudhir/Sudha himself. Ashok Saraf was cast as Dhananjay Mane, marking his fourth collaboration with Sachin. Laxmikant Berde was selected for the role of Parshuram/Parvati. Although initially enthusiastic, Berde was hesitant after learning that the character involved cross-dressing; however, Sachin reassured him that the role would earn him even greater appreciation from audiences.

Producer Kiran Shantaram recommended his son, Siddharth Ray, for the role of Shantanu. Supriya Pilgaonkar and Nivedita Joshi Saraf were cast as Manisha and Sushma, respectively. Nayantara was chosen to play Leelabai Kalbhor. Kishori Shahane was initially considered for the role of Madhuri, but after she declined, the part was given to Ashwini Bhave. The film also marked the acting debut of Priya Berde. Viju Khote was cast as the antagonist, Bali.

All actors provided their own dubbing, except Priya Berde, whose character Kamli was dubbed by Shubhangi Rawate. This was due to the climax being re-shot at a later date, by which time Berde was unavailable because of her theatre commitments.

The shooting took place primarily in Pune. Pashan Road, where the characters are shown moving into Leelabai Kalbhor’s bungalow, is a real location; however, the bungalow itself was a specially constructed set for the film.

The shop featured in the romantic track between Ashok Saraf and Ashwini Bhave was an actual store, owned by a friend of director and actor Sachin Pilgaonkar.
