The much-awaited Marathi film Follower has just dropped its official trailer, building anticipation for its theatrical release on March 21, 2025. Directed by debutant Harshad Nalawade, Follower made its world premiere at the prestigious International Film Festival of Rotterdam (IFFR) and is now ready to hit theaters. The film, which is partly in Kannada and Hindi, promises to offer a gripping narrative centered around the complex Belagavi border dispute between Karnataka and Maharashtra—a conflict that has lingered for decades.
Set in the city of Belagavi, which is home to a large Marathi-speaking population, Follower delves into the heart of the territorial and linguistic tensions between the two states. The film follows a social media journalist who passionately campaigns for Belagavi’s inclusion in Maharashtra, championing pro-Marathi sentiments. However, when a local leader reignites the long-standing dispute, the situation escalates, sparking a chain of events that forces individuals to confront issues of identity, politics, and belonging.
Produced by Orange Pixel Studios and Visica Films, with a presentation by Humara Medialabs and Causality Films, Follower offers a thought-provoking exploration of regional disputes and their socio-political implications. The gripping storyline aims to provide a fresh perspective on the complexities that fuel such conflicts, highlighting the motivations and struggles of those involved on both sides.
With its powerful and timely narrative, Follower is poised to make a significant impact on audiences, offering not just a look at a historical and politically charged issue but also a deep dive into the emotional and ideological forces that drive individuals and communities to take sides. Fans of intense drama and socio-political thrillers should mark their calendars for March 21, 2025, when Follower arrives in theaters.
