Akshay Kumar, who has turned presenter for "Chumbak", believes Marathi cinema is way ahead of Bollywood when it comes exploring complex stories.
"The content of Marathi cinema is no doubt better than Hindi cinema. Also, they (Marathi cinema) are much bolder. I have seen 'Balak Palak' and I have enjoyed watching it. It is a bold film, they (Marathi cinema) create (good) content and that too bold," Akshay told reporters here at the trailer launch of "Chumbak".
The film, directed by Sandeep Modi, stars Swanand Kirkire and teen actors Sangram Desai and Sahil Jadhav.
"This film has travelled to several film festivals and got lot of acclaim. That has not happened with my films. My films have not gone to festivals and I felt I should give my name to this film as the content is really good. I have been acting for 28 years but I haven't seen such a beautiful and real performance like that of Swanand Kirkire."
