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 . 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.
