Secrets behind the sets of OMG 2, Aatmapamphlet & Sitare Zameen Par | Roundtable @Studio19 Offices

Most people never notice the worlds in films until they disappear.
Every room, every wall texture, every tiny object that makes a story believable…There’s art behind it. And this time, we’re shining the light there.

At Studio19 in Mundhwa Pune — a place built on design thinking — five Production Designers uncover what films hide in plain sight:

Baban Adagale — National Award-winning Production Designer (Aatmapamphlet)
Nikhil Kovale — OMG 2, Sitare Zameen Par, Faster Fene, April May 99
Sampda — Architect-turned-Production Designer (Restaurant)
Ashok Lokhare — Aani Kay Hava S2, Me Vasantrao, Lampan, Three of Us
Varun Narvekar — Director & Writer
Together, they decode the artistry behind creating cinematic reality:
•⁠ ⁠Understanding scripts spatially and emotionally
•⁠ ⁠When to stay true to the real world and when to build a new one
•⁠ ⁠Wrestling with locations, budgets, and imagination
•⁠ ⁠The evolving visual language of Marathi and Indian cinema

The location, Studio19, in Pune, lends itself to this significant conversation — since 2015, Studio19 has been redefining how India works. It’s a place where culture, craft, and cinema converge, making it a cultural catalyst for such dialogue. For more information, check out their website at https://studio19offices.com/
