"The age of digital has changed the way we consume content. Today, the story is king and audiences are open to and accepting of all kinds of genres. We scroll for content that appeals to our mood and mind, equally.&nbsp;

"This definitely was one of the major reasons behind our move of taking our latest Marathi project 'Firebrand' straight to Netflix. A story like 'Firebrand' deserves to reach audiences far and wide and I'm thrilled to be bringing this to Netflix," Priyanka said.

Featuring actors Usha Jadhav, Girish Kulkarni, Sachin Khedekar and Rajeshwari Sachdev, the movie is about the trials and tribulations of contemporary modern day relationships.

Madhu Chopra said " 'Firebrand' is packaged with a gripping, powerful narrative along with an ensemble of talented actors and we are truly excited that this story will reach millions of diverse Netflix members."

"We are delighted to have Netflix as a partner that will help us take this meaningful cinema to new audiences across the globe," she added.
