FC-Ormax Power List of Directors 2024: Kedar Shinde

Kedar Shinde made a remarkable directorial debut with Aga Bai Arrecha in 2004 and has since produced many beloved films. In 2023, he directed Maharashtra Shaheer, a film that chronicles the life of his grandfather, Shahir Sable, a legendary figure in Marathi music and theatre. That same year, he also released Baipan Bhaari Deva, which became the highest-grossing Marathi film of 2023. Shinde voiced his dissatisfaction with how the Marathi film industry treated veteran actresses, feeling that luminaries like Rohini Hattangady and Vandana Gupte were being undervalued. Determined to make a change, Shinde ensured that Baipan Bhaari Deva set a new standard in honouring their contributions.
