Today facebook has become the best tool in social media to get noticed about your achievements. Almost all the young artistes from Marathi film industry proudly display their achievements and communicate with their well wishers, through this medium. In the case of young actor Abhay Chavan the story is not different. Belonging to Barshi, Solapur, his native place , Abhay has been active with theatre since his childhood. But, he attributes the credit to his grandmother, for becoming an actor. Abhay’s grandfather worked for a single screen theatre in Solapur, however he has been influenced by his grandmother, who has always been his favourite and her proper upbringing during his childhood days has influenced him a lot.

Marathimovieworld met this talented actor during the press show of his forthcoming film ‘Charandas Chor’, which is all set to release on coming Friday. Speaking about his acting career, Abhay stated that he had not taken classes in acting but developed himself through his stage experience and working as assistant in production. His short film, which was shared by him on social networking sites, invited the attention of many film makers. First, it was National award winning film ‘Khwada’ fame director Bhaurao Karhade, who casted him in a prominent negative role in his 2nd film ‘Baban’ which is also due for release soon.

Makers of  ‘Charanda Chor’ who were also impressed with his short film, tried to contact him through his Facebook message box, but thinking that it was someone fooling him, he blocked them on his page. “But, still they managed to reach me and invited me for audition for their film ‘Charands Chor’ and that’s how I landed in their film. I am really grateful to them for showing faith in me.” said Abhay.

Not many young actors are lucky to find their two films with contrasting roles ready for release. But, Abhay is fortunate to open his innings in Marathi films with these two films of renowned directors. Abhay expressed his happiness for having got an opportunity to work with directors like Bhaurao karhade and Shyam Maheshwari at the beginning of his film career. This young talented actor is presently based in Pune.  Let’s wish him all the best.
