One day, he received the call from Nandu, the office assistant at Drama Producer Sudhir Bhat’s office, where he had enrolled his name with phone number. There was a small role for him in the play ‘Beimaan’ and Vinamra immediately said ‘Yes’.

At this competition, Mandar Deosthali was the judge and he immediately signed Vinmara for his TV serial ‘Majhe Pati Saubhagyavati’, without taking his audition.
Today, we also find him in Mandar’s ongoing serial ‘Phulpakharu’. Recently, we also saw him in Sanjay Jadhav’s hit Marathi film ‘Ye Re Ye Re Paisa’.
