Film Experience :
Apart from theatre ; Cinema as a medium has always excited me. My debut marathi film Foreighnchi Paatleen (Foreigner leader) was a commercial success which also had a foreign actress Billiana Radonich, casted opposite me and was directed by Pradeep Gonshikar.
My next film “Hota Asa Kadhi Kadhi” which dealt with urban personal turmoil underlining the dwindling relationship
between personal and professional life and was directed by
Niranjan Joshi.
My third film “Maramabandha” set me the challenges of
playing the female artist performed by man as it used to be in Sangeet Natak ( musical plays ) in the history of Marathi
Theatre. The film effectively narrated the autobiographical
graph of the actor playing the female part in the plays. The
film opened to grand success in the IFFI 2008 and was
directed by Dinesh Bhosale.
Other noticeable films like:
• “Gargi” ( You can find it on youtube by the same
name) wherein I portrayed the character of gigolo directed by Ashish Ubale . It explored it the female sexuality urges , which are suppressed due to exisiting social norms and taboo.. It depicts the one night equation between the gigolo and his client.
