MUMBAI: Veteran songstress Asha Bhosle is going to make her acting debut in Maaee (Mother).

The Marathi film is produced by Subhash Dawar of Alliance Entertainment and Nitin Shankar of Rhythm D‘vine Entertainment.

"Acting is something that I hadn‘t done so far. I‘ve done enough of playback singing in my career and when this opportunity to act in Maaee came my way, I thought why not give it a try. The first thing what excited me about the project was the script. When I heard it, I was sure that I wanted to be a part of the film. It‘s a fictional story about a mother-daughter relationship and Padmini Kolhapure is playing my daughter," said Bhosle in a statement.

Directed by Mahesh Kodiyal, the film is said to have struck an inedible chord with Bhosle, resulting in giving a nod to the venture.
