Makers of ‘Katyar Kaljat Ghusali’ introduce Sachin as Khan Saheb
Last time, when they had a press conference, the makers of ‘Katyar Kaljaat Ghusali’ had introduced Shankar Mahadevan, as one of the lead actors of their film, playing the role of classical singer Pandit Bhanushankar. But, this time, it was the turn of well known actor Sachin Pilgaonkar. Sachin was introduced as Khaansaheb Ustad Hussain, the classical singer from Bareli, well versed with Urdu language. The function was held in Mumbai on Thursday evening, to not only introduce his character in the film, through few clippings; but also present his long journey in the film industry, through a short film. Sachin’s wife actress Supriya, daughter Shriya and his mother were also present on this occasion.
Incidentally, Sachin is playing this parallel but negative role of a classical singer, in this film and has spoken Urdu language throughout the film, without speaking a word of Marathi. The multi talented actor, while speaking on the occasion, thanked the makers of this film, for giving him an opportunity to perform this negative role, which he was playing for the first time.“I would love to play all such roles, which would appeal me and also suit my age.” said Sachin Pilgaonkar.
Sachin himself is a very good singer; but, since this film is based on classical singing , he has taken the voice of Rahul Deshpande, grandson of great classical singer Vasantrao Deshpande, who had performed this role, in the drama based on this subject. Hindi television actress Sakshi Tanwar plays his wife in this film and Amruta Khanvilkar, plays his daughter. Another highlight of the film is its music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, who are making their debut as music director in this film.
Audience eagerly waiting for Vaibhav’s make over
After a lot of publicity, finally, Vaibhav Mangale’s TV serial ‘Majhe Pati Soubhagyavati’ has arrived on Zee Marathi channel. The versatile actor, in the company of Nandita Dhuri, playing his wife, has already displayed his skills, as a struggling actor, in the initial episodes. There were some interesting happenings covered so far, to show his frustration clearly. Even, the shooting episode and his interaction with his father in law played by Uday Sabnis , were well presented. But, audience is more eager to see his make over as a female actor.
In ‘Nanda Saoukhyabhare’, on the same channel, Swanandi is still facing the err of her adamant sister, in spite of her engagement to Indraneel. The serial is yet to pick up, as it is moving in a typical Saas bahu style, with the character of Vachhi Maushi, playing her games, to take revenge against Indraneel’s mother. Some of the dialogues in this serial are just repeated again and again.
Runji on Star Pravah, certainly needs a revamp, as there is nothing interesting left in this serial. Same is the case with ‘Kamla’ on Colors channel, as behavior of Dev is not at all acceptable. One could understand his orthodox thinking mother’s attitude; but behavior of Dev in not at all convincing. Don’t really know, what the author of this serial has in mind.
However, in another serial ‘Asa Sasar Surekh Bai’ on Colors channel the greedy uncle of Yash has come to know, the background of Jui, after reading her palm. So, now we expect him to support Yash, after some melodrama expected from lady members of the family. But, on the other side, Gautam Joglekar, who has started playing elderly person’s role, perfectly suits as Jui’s father, offering variety through his performance.
Till now, we have been watching Asmita, desperately in search of her father’s killer, in the serial ‘Asmita’. Now, she has almost come close to proving the involvement of her own father in law. But, will that happen ? Let us wait and see.

Another Beauty Queen Sayali Bhagat, to make her debut in Marathi
Last year we saw two beauty Queens Manasi Moghe, ‘Miss India Universe’ and Shital Upare, ‘Miss India Heritage International’, making their debut in Marathi films.
Now, ‘Miss India Sayali Bhagat’, who has already acted in Bollywood films like The ‘Train’, ‘Halla Bol’, ‘Yaariyan’ and other south Indian language films; is making her debut in Marathi, through a film ‘Yali’.
This will be a grand comeback for Sayali, who had taken a break, after her marriage to family friend and Delhi based entrepreneur Navneet Pratap Singh in December 2013.
In this Marathi film ‘Yali’ Sayali has found a challenging role of a Female ATS Officer, which has been inspired by Top IPS dynamic Lady Police Officer Meera Borwankar.
The entry of this young actress, would certainly ensure glamour into Marathi films, which are otherwise almost going on par with Hindi films, as far as use of technology is concerned.
Moreover, Marathi films do present good scripts. No wonder, Sayali is tempted to do a Marathi film.
“The bond of relationship is more important in marriage” – Aditi Sarangdhar
Having started her acting career with Nishikant Kamat’s experimental play ‘Litmus’, Aditi Sarangdhar, a talented actress from Kalyan, later found scope in Devendra Pem’s female version of ‘All The Best’. Through TV serials like ‘Damini’ and ‘Vadalvaat’, she became a household name in Maharashtra. Aditi Sarangdhar, did act in about fifteen Marathi films during past few years; but her performance in Marathi play ‘Proposal’ and TV serial ‘Lakshya’ brought her name and fame. In fact, her performance in ‘Proposal’ brought her many popular awards. Now, her new play ‘Graceful’ is also topic of discussion. MarathiMovieworld.com spoke to this talented actress. Excerpts from an interview:
Having played a bold character in the play ‘Proposal’, now your play ‘Graceful’ is being staged. Could you please tell us something about this play .
A: I am playing Veda , an actress, who is in relationship with a 40+ writer, who has a wife and a daughter. But, my relationship with the writer is something beyond physical relationship and this disturbs his wife, who argues , trying to prove the legality of their marriage. It is an interesting debate, which concludes well. But, it sends a message to all those 40+ married women, to offer all that their husbands look for, at this age. And, we are getting good response to this play, from all age groups.
But, what is your personal opinion on this subject of ex marital relationship ?
A: I think, we people are living in this advanced world. To maintain a good marital relationship , it is important for every couple to live with an understanding and perfect bonding. If a man lives with his wife, with total involvement with his mind and body, both of them don’t face any problems.
Today, we see many women oriented subjects in films and TV serials. What’s your opinion?
A: This is good. Every woman gets inspired by a character on screen. Like men, women are not able to react or express their problems. In fact, they are the symbol of patience and sufferings. These characters offer them some confidence.
Your role in ‘Lakshya’ serial has been highly praised. How do you react to this appreciation?
A: I am used to this kind of praise, since my performance in the serial ‘Vadalvaat’. In fact, such kind of praise has made me more responsible, to perform still better; to meet the expectations of the audience. Actually, I am still in the learning process. Till now, I have scored only 5 marks and have to score 95 marks more, to be 100 % perfect. Luckily, I have found all good people in this industry, from whom I have learned so many good things and will continue to do so.
You have acted in many Marathi films; but, we have seen you in lead role, in very few films. Why ?
A: It may be , because of my involvement in TV serials. But, now in my forthcoming film ‘Mohar’ I am playing the lead role. I have worked without make up, as I am playing the role of a woman laborer working in brick kiln. For me, it was a different experience as an actress. This film is directed by Vijaya Katkar and is all set to release on 9th October.
Aren’t you very keen on doing comedy films and serials ?
A: No, it is not so. I have already performed comedy during Zee Comedy awards show. Actually, I like to perform comedy; but, unfortunately I am not getting such roles. It is easy to make people cry; but, it is difficult to make them laugh.
What are your future projects ?
A: Besides ‘Mohar’, I am doing ‘Bazaar’ & ‘Malak’, with different types of roles. Very soon, you will also see me doing a Hindi project.
What are your hobbies, when you are not shooting ?
A : I love music. But, I also love to sit quiet, in meditation. I love to meditate. It helps me to understand myself well.
Finally, could you please tell us, which role you enjoyed the most?
A: My best is yet to come. I am here to stay for long, in this industry. I would like to do much better than what I have performed till now.
