For a long time, we wanted this young chocolate boy of Marathi films – Adinath Kothare, to find time for an exclusive interview. Finally, that time came, when we met over a cup of coffee. Looking very boyish, wearing casual jeans and ‘easy on eyes’ saffron coloured shirt, He displayed warmth. Excerpts from the interview:

MMW: Let’s begin with your forthcoming projects.
Aadinath: ‘Premasathi Coming Sunn‘ is due for release. Then Mahesh Manjrekar’s ‘Mounraag’, where I am playing a south Indian guy. This movie is going to be dubbed in Tamil and I will be dubbing in my own voice. Another film, Saate Lote, which is being directed by Shravani Deodhar, who is into direction after a long gap. You can call it a multi starrer movie, as many stalwarts are part of it. We had a blast while shooting, and am sure people are going to enjoy it still more. It’s a laugh riot.

MMW: And what about Avatarachi Goshta ?
Aadinath: It’s an amazingly beautiful movie, wherein I am not in my usual chocolate boy role. Director Nitin Dixit, who has won a national award for writing ‘Dhag’, has handled this subject. interestingly, this film winning many awards, already proves his excellent work. Even I was nominated for ‘Best Supporting Actor’ for this film.

MMW : What prompts you to select a particular movie?
Aadinath: Mainly the script. The importance of my character, Director and last but not the least, the banner& producer. Fortunately, I have done different characters in all my films

MMW: How do you plan your shooting schedule ?
Aadinath: I personally like to shoot at a stretch, so that I can concentrate on my character more.

MMW: What’s happening at Home Production ? What is your role?
Aadinath: We are producers of two recent popular TV serials, ‘Jai Malhar’ and ‘Jasyostute’, which are getting more popular, as the days goes by. I am actively involved in each aspect of production. Also a film ‘Zapatlela 3′.

MMW: When can we see that?
Aadinath: Next year. At the moment it’s in pre-production stage.

MMW: Do you seek advise from your father?
Aadinath: My father is very chilled out. He never interferes in my life. In fact I would love if he interferes. When asked for, he gives smart advise, without imposing his views on me.

Aadinath along with his film maker friends, Nikhil Mahajan and Suhrud Godbole, is planning a movie, but nothing is locked yet. Also we are going to see him on stage very soon, as he is coming out with a brand new Marathi play, announcement of which will be out in a while. We’re waiting.
