==Background==
Dedhar has no formal training as a filmmaker.<ref name="The Hindu 1"/> Her parents were both doctors, and she concedes that her filmmaking knowledge came from her husband, cinematographer [[Debu Deodhar]]. He advised she combines the sciences of what goes on behind-the-camera with that of motion pictures, and encouraged her to take film appreciation courses at the [[Film and Television Institute of India]] in [[Pune]] so as tmodo pursue her wish to become a filmmaker. He worked with her on her very first film, and with her on every one of her projects before she created ''[[Sata Lota Pan Sagla Khota]]''.<ref name="Box Office India"/>

Dedhar was slated to direct the upcoming ''Sugar, Salt Ani Prem'' for writer/producer Sonali Bangera, but when she chose to leave the project due to personal issues, Bangera opted to direct the film herself.<ref name="Times of India 001">{{cite news|last1=Kulkarni|first1=Pooja|title=Sonali dons directors hat after Shrabani Deodhar quits project|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/marathi/movies/news/Sonali-dons-directors-hat-after-Shrabani-Deodhar-quitsproject/articleshow/33185204.cms|accessdate=14 November 2014|publisher=[[Times of India]]|date=3 April 2014}}</ref>

She recently completed work on ''Sata Lota Pan Sagla Khota'' which is expected for release November 2014. Deodhar related that she conceived the idea before [[Rohit Shetty]] became a film director, and that while she intended to make the film "years ago", due to personal issues surrounding her husband's death in 2010, production was held off for four years. Her daughter [[Sai Deodhar]] encouraged her mother to consider the changes in Indian film industry during her four-year absence from filmmaking and move forward, resulting Shrabani's decision to use a younger set of actors for ''Stat Lota''.<ref name="Box Office India"/>
