Shreyas and Deepti Talpade`s Affluence Movies Pvt. Ltd. today announced that it had joined hands with DAR Motion Pictures, the producers of acclaimed films such as 'Lalbaug Parel', 'Teecha Baap Tycha Baap', 'Ugly', 'Lunchbox', 'D-Day', 'Haunted 3D', amongst others, to co-produce the sequel of its Superhit Marathi Film Poshter Boyz` titled Poshter Boyz 2`. The film will also mark the directorial debut of Actor-Producer Shreyas Talpade and will feature the original Poshter Boyz trio of Dilip Prabhavalkar, Hrishikesh Joshi and Aniket Vishwasrao.

Commenting on the occasion Shreyas Talpade said, "From the day we decided to produce Poshter Boyz`, we knew it would become a franchise. The overwhelming response the movie received on its release only further validated this. Poshter Boyz 2` will not just push the canvas of the franchise but also aims at doubling the entertainment quotient. Furthermore, I have through my career in films always been fascinated with the art of direction. Poshter Boyz 2` is the perfect platform for me to take the plunge.

"Having worked with DAR Motion Pictures on BAJI`, it was abundantly evident right from the word go that apart from a near perfect match in our sensibilities when it came to film making but that they would also be ideal partners for 'Poshter Boyz 2'," added Shreyas on Deepti and his choice of partnering with DAR Motion Pictures for 'Poshter Boyz 2'. 'Poshter Boyz' was a humorous take on a key social issue where three ordinary individuals of completely different age-groups find themselves brought together in an unwanted situation that has a serious negative effect on their well-settled happily progressing life. It revolved around an incident of three ordinary people who, to their surprise, found their pictures on a poster promoting vasectomy and how that error changed their lives around. Laced with a very interesting and well rounded music and background score, the film explored the journey of these three men through those trying times and their fight for justice.

Commenting on the association with Affluence Movies Pvt Ltd, Vivek Rangachari, Producer DAR Motion Pictures said, "We have always been very bullish about the Marathi film industry. Infact the very first film we produced was Lalbaug Parel before moving on to produce a whole host of Hindi films along with Teechaa Baap Tycha Baap and now the highly anticipated Baji. We continue to remain very bullish about the industry and hence when during the shoot of Baji Shreyas narrated the story he had in mind for the sequel to Poshter Boyz we immediately confirmed our partnership in this venture."

'Poshter Boyz 2' is slated for an early 2016 release.
