Production

In 1982, Sachin thought of this film, but he dropped the idea because of the budget. After 21 years, he wanted to make the film again. This time, he asked Santosh Pawar to write the script. The initial title for the film was Chala Na Gade, but later Santosh suggested the title Navra Maza Navsacha.

Sachin originally did not choose himself for the role of Vakratund; Bharat Jadhav was selected for the part. Supriya Pilgaonkar was cast for the cameo of Sheila Raje. However, one of Sachin’s friends suggested that both he and Supriya should take the lead roles. As a result, Sachin and Supriya were chosen to play Vakratund and Bhakti, while Reema Lagoo took over the cameo role of Sheila Raje.

The entire film was shot in Konkan. Several portions were shot in Film City and on Kurla bus depot.
