The 1936 Marathi film Sant Tukaram by directors Vishnupant Govind Damle and Sheikh Fattelal under the banner of Prabhat Film Company became the first Indian film to receive an award at the 5th Venice International Film Festival.[1] The film still remains popular and is the subject of frequent studies.[2] This was also the first film to capture the life of Tukaram.[3] The 2012 film that was released after 76 years is the second film in Marathi based on the same subject.[4][5] The subject was also inspiration for Kannada film Santa Thukarama (1963) and Telugu film Bhakta Tukaram (1973).[citation needed]
Tukaram being a revered saint in Maharashtra, his works have been a subject of numerous study. But the film focuses on his life before sainthood. The film was produced by Sanjay Chhabria under the banner Everest Entertainment.[4] The story, screenplay and dialogues for the film were written by Ajit Dalvi and Prashant Dalvi. Through various researches and many re-writings, the screenplay took almost five years to produce.[5] Multiple National Film Award winner Vikram Gaikwad did the makeup of the artists.[3] The costumes were designed by Poornima Oak.[4]

Singers include Aniruddha Joshi, Dnyaneshwar Meshram, Padmanabh Gaikwad and Janhavi Prabhu Arora along with Avdhoot Gupte.[6] Joshi and Gaikwad have been winners of Marathi Sa Re Ga Ma Pa and Meshram and Arora have been participants in it; all in different seasons.
