Anand Ingale, Actor
Anand is actually an actor by choice, who gets totally engrossed into his role with his authoritative voice, required diction and suitable body language. It all comes together very spontaneously and with ease supported by his enthusiasm. His alertness and concentration while at work, adds further zest to the character, he portrays every occasion.

Anand, actually came into limelight 6 years ago, when he performed in a Marathi play ‘Makadachya Haati Champagne'; but prior to that he had done a serial ‘Prapanch’ where his role of Mangya still remains fresh in the memory of Marathi TV serial lovers. Anand is now happy to see a film being made on ‘Makadachya Haati Champagne’ with the same title. He is also part of the film, along with Pushkar Shroti, Upendra Limaye, Mukta Barve and others. “Director Satish Rajwade and the writer have changed the screenplay of this film to suit in the cinematic format. It was a wonderful experience to be part of this film too,” he says. The film is in post production stage and will be released before end of this year.

Talking about his role of Valmiki in the play ‘Lagnabambaal’, Anand says that it was a call coming on 15th August of this year from director Vijay Kenkre. I didn’t even ask him, what role I was playing, as he is one such person, in whom I have complete faith. There are other people like him, to name a few, Mr. Shrirang Godbole (My Guide), Pratima Kulkarni (with whom I worked on good projects) and of course Sanjay Mone. I just can’t say ‘no’ to them. They are all wonderful people and I like their company. I really admire them for their qualities.

Anand seems to be happy with whatever he has to his share in this competitive world. “God has given me limited but good projects. My TV assignments, be it ‘Kunku’ or ‘Fu Bai Fu’ did help me to move ahead in my acting career; but, I still had the guts to say ‘no’ to certain offers, because of prior commitments. I have learnt this through my experience in this field and in the company of good friends, for the past several years,” he adds.

Simple, courteous and always cheerful with his strong physique ; Anad has gathered around him many well wishers, who are all praise for his acting skills. Besides ‘Makdachya Haati Champagne’, he has two more films due for release shortly. ‘Uchala Re Uchala’ is a full time pass comedy, where he and Vaibhav Magale play the lead pair and then there is also a sensible film ‘Paulvaat’ directed by Aaditya Ingale; where he plays a 55 year old important character, in the company of his ‘Lagnabambaal’ co- stars Subodh Bhave and Madhura Velankar Satam. Those who have seen this trio perform together in ‘Lagnabambaal’ will surely love to watch them together again in this forthcoming film.
