Film career

Viju Mane's directorial debut 'Gojiri' (2007) starred Sunil Barve, Abhijeet Chavan, Arun Nalawade and Madhura Velankar in pivotal roles. In 2012, he tackled a sensitive subject in 'Khel Mandala' which had very subtly layers of human relationships, disability, and manipulative nature of the media starring Mangesh Desai and Urmila Kanetkar.[10]

He made his acting debut in Abhijit Panse's crime drama 'Rege' (2014) which revolved around a college student (played by Aaroh Velankar) who becomes engulfed in the criminal underworld when he crosses the path of a mysterious small-time gangster named 'M Bhai'. It starred Viju Mane, Mahesh Manjrekar and Santosh Juvekar in lead roles. The Mahesh Manjrekar produced Shikari (2018) - a tribute to legend Dada Kondke and his adult comedies was directed by him. It marked the debut of Neha Khan and Survat Joshi.[11]
