According to Dnyanesh Moghe, a Konkani film director and GMFF organizer, Marathi movie "Postcard" by Gajendra Ahire would be premiered during the festival.
The organizers claim that they have invited bollywood veterans like Amitabh Bachchan, wife Jaya and Akshay Kumar to inaugurate the festival, but they are yet to confirm their presence.
