बरोब्बर १०४ वर्षांपूर्वी नाशिकच्या विजयानंद थिएटरमध्ये इतिहास घडला होता. बालगंधर्वांचे नाटक ऐन रंगात आलेले असतानाच अवघ्या १७ वर्षांच्या अनंत कान्हेरे या तरुण क्रांतिकारकाने नाशिकचे तत्कालीन कलेक्टर जॅक्सन यांच्यावर गोळ्या झाडून त्यांचा वध केला आणि भारतीय स्वातंत्र्ययुद्धातील सशस्त्र क्रांतिपर्वाला नवी दिशा दिली. आता बरोब्बर १०४ वर्षांनी, त्याच विजयानंद थिएटरमध्ये, त्याच दिवशी, येत्या २१ डिसेंबर रोजी कान्हेरेंचा हा इतिहास जिवंत होणार आहे. निर्माते अजय कांबळी आणि त्यांचे दिग्दर्शक बंधू अभय कांबळी यांनी कान्हेरेंच्या आयुष्यावर बनवलेल्या ‘१९०९’ या चित्रपटाचा प्रीमिअर नाशिकच्या विजयानंद थिएटरमध्ये होणार आहे. हा चित्रपट १० जानेवारी २०१४ रोजी प्रेक्षकांच्या भेटीसाठी येतोय.

भारताचे कॅनडातील माजी उच्चायुक्त व परराष्ट्र सेवा विभागातील ज्येष्ठ निवृत्त अधिकारी शिवशंकर गवई यांच्या हस्ते ‘१९०९’च्या फर्स्ट लुकचे अनावरण नुकतेच मोठ्या थाटात करण्यात आले. गवई यांचे आजोबा नानासाहेब गवई हे अभिनव भारतचे सदस्य होते, तसेच स्वातंत्र्यवीर सावरकरांचे निकटचे सहकारी होते. जक्सन वध प्रकरणातच सावरकरांना काळ्या पाण्याची शिक्षा झाली होती. त्यामुळेच शिवशंकर गवई यांच्या हस्ते फर्स्ट लुकचे अनावरण केल्याचे निर्माते अजय कांबळी यांनी सांगितले. याप्रसंगी ‘ऑगमेंटेड रिअॅलिटी’ या आगळ्यावेगळ्या तंत्रज्ञानाच्या सहाय्याने ‘१९०९’ या चित्रपटातील एका नाट्यमय प्रसंगाची झलकही दाखवण्यात आली. पाहणाऱ्याला घटनेच्या केंद्रस्थानी असल्याची अनुभूती देणाऱ्या या तंत्रज्ञानाचा वापर प्रथमच मराठी चित्रपटाच्या प्रसिद्धीसाठी ‘१९०९’च्या निमित्ताने होणार आहे.

स्वातंत्र्यलढ्यावर आजवर अनेक चित्रपट आले. मात्र, स्वातंत्र्यलढ्याचे अनेक पैलू आजही दुर्लक्षित आहेत. मिसरूडही न फुटलेल्या असंख्य तरुणांनी ब्रिटीशांच्या जुलमी राजवटीविरोधात सशस्त्र क्रांतीचा मार्ग चोखाळत स्वातंत्र्यवेदीवर आपल्या प्राणांची आहुती दिली. असेच तीन तरुण म्हणजे अनंत लक्ष्मण कान्हेरे, कृष्णाजी गोपाळ कर्वे आणि विनायक नारायण देशपांडे. वयाची विशीही न गाठलेल्या या तरुणांनी २१ डिसेंबर १९०९ रोजी नाशिकचे तत्कालीन कलेक्टर जॅक्सन यांची गोळी झाडून हत्या केली आणि नंतर तिघेही हसत हसत फासावर गेले. त्याकाळी अवघ्या देशभरात खळबळ माजवणाऱ्या या तीन क्रांतीवीरांची शौर्यगाथा पडद्यावर मांडण्यास ‘१९०९’ हा चित्रपट सज्ज झाला आहे.

निर्माते अजय कांबळी यांनी ‘१९०९’ या चित्रपटाची निर्मिती केली आहे. लेखन आणि दिग्दर्शन अभय कांबळी यांचे असून दिलीप अल्लम हे सहनिर्माते आहेत. अक्षय शिंपी, रोहन पेडणेकर, श्रीकांत भिडे, श्रीनिवास जोशी, शुभंकर एकबोटे, चेतन शर्मा, अमित वझे आदि अनेक उमदे कलाकार ‘१९०९’ मधून रुपेरी पडद्यावर पदार्पण करत आहेत.

Several revolutionaries sacrificed their lives during the independence struggle of India. It was an inspiring era to forego all the material pleasures and joys their lives may offer them otherwise to wage a war against the British Empire of the colonial rulers. Scores of such revolutionaries went about setting up number of glorious pages of inspiring sacrifices by bequeathing even their lives during the battle against the British for the noble cause of winning the independence. A significant and yet ignored young revolutionary martyr among these committed youths was a dashing Marathi radical called Anant Laxman Kanhere.

On 21st December, 1909, at his tender age of nineteen, Anant Kanhere gave a serious blow to the British rule in India by successfully assassinating Jackson, the District Collector of Nasik, at the Vijayanand Theatre located there. This was not just a happening of a single day. The factors like why was Jackson targeted, the reasons of his elimination, the preparations made for achieving the objective and above all the psychology of all those who designed that conspiracy were extremely important. That entire realm of time in itself was tremendously charged with a passionate love for the motherland and a Marathi feature film, ‘1909’, that unravels the details of that sensational era is coming soon.

The film ‘1909’ has been produced by Shree Venkateshwara Movies International in order to acquaint the next generations with the significance of the sacrifices made by the revolutionaries of those times and to preserve the lasting memory of the great sons of this motherland like Anant Kanhere, Krishnaji Karve and Vinayak Deshpande. Producers Ajay Kambli and Abhay Kambli have produced this film. A remarkable aspect of this film is that all the characters portrayed in it are acted by deserving but unknown actors instead of deploying a fleet of the experienced and proven actors who already make headlines. Dileep Allam is a co-producer of this film.

So far, the character of Anant Kanhere remained confined to the textbooks of children or the works of history. The challenge of bringing before the newer generation, the spirited defiance shown by Anant Kanhere in assassinating a high-level British officer at the young age of nineteen, has been met successfully by the director of the film, Abhay Kambli. Anant Kanhere was inspired by the legacy of Sawarkar brothers and Madanlal Dhingra. The entire sequence of events related with how he successfully carried out the conspiracy to kill Jackson with the help of two of his other associates viz. Krishnaji Karve and Vinayak Deshpande for which all these three revolutionaries were hanged till death on 19th April, 1910 shall be brought before the audiences through the upcoming Marathi feature film, ‘1909’.

Art director of the film is Ashwin Vanjare whereas Music has been composed by Pradeep Vaidya. Cinematography has been handled by Ram Allam whereas his associate has been Imtiaz Bargir and the costumes have been designed by Vijay Dhere. New and unknown actors like Akshay Shimpi, Shrikant Bhide, Rohan Pednekar, Shreenivas Joshi, Shubhankar Ekbote, Chetan Sharma, Amit Vaze and Sushil Inamdar have played the roles in this film which is soon expected to be released for the Marathi audiences.
