“It was a moment of honour looking at Aditya Sarpotdar sir’s long-standing vision of finding its true audience and being a mediator where I get a chance to play and experience what a modern woman is and stands for in today’s times.
“It is the one film that has given me so many things to cherish right from the execution of Taras and playing a character like Bela.
“To share the screen with Abhay and Mona Ma’am has been such a good learning experience and with Munjya coming on a platform like Disney+ Hotstar, we look to leverage the viewership of it and reach as many homes as possible.”

Abhay said, “I think ‘Munjya’ chose me and not the other way around. Any creative endeavour like such is too big to choose, it’s more than spiritual for me and with Bittu being loved in such a big way; it felt as if my prayers were being answered by the audience as the almighty.
“I’m excited to realise that This family is only going to get bigger as Hotstar seems just the platform for it. Apart from thanking Dinesh sir, Aditya sir and Amar sir for the constant support, I’d join my hands and thank the audiences who have made my film cross the 100 crore-mark and now I believe those much more smiles are going to be spread with the help of Disney+ Hotstar.”
Director Aditya Sarpotdar said, “’Munjya’ is one story that was in its writing process for 2-3 years and the research part was something I always wanted to go in the nitty-gritty of it because the story is personal and I wanted to do absolute justice with it because of the emotions attached to it.
“Bringing the story to life under Maddock has been so refreshing because they know the treatment that the horror-comedy genre requires owing to ‘Stree’ and ‘Bhediya’. I look at ‘Munjya’ as a dark horse and when it did so well, it came as a surprise for us and that always shows that whatever form of content it is, it will always find its audience and ultimately good content prevails.
“It was so wonderful to have an amalgamation of new and experienced actors in the form of Mona, Sharvari, Sathyaraj and Abhay as they bring so much to the table and represent our hard work. With ‘Munjya’ releasing on Disney+ Hotstar, it will surely elevate the movie-watching experience and reach every home.”
Set in Pune and Konkan, ‘Munjya’ follows the story of Bittu (Abhay Verma), who is deeply in love with Bela (Sharvari). However, upon returning to his hometown, he uncovers a hidden past filled with ancestral history, demons, and paranormal occurrences that were unknown to him.
