The Indian state of Maharashtra completed 50 years in 2010 and the world was looking to this state as the industrial leader in India. With this backdrop, it is only deserving to honour the leading lights of the Marathi screen and stage in a unique way on a global platform. Due recognition will be awarded to the distinguished contributors in Marathi film and theatre, as well as their landmark works. As this is a glowing tribute for their praiseworthy efforts in spreading Marathi culture across the globe, it is only befitting to host the ceremony on an international scale. Till date the awards were held in Dubai in 2010, London in 2011, Singapore in 2012 and Macau in 2013.
