Whether it is a feature film, TV serial or a web series, the maker has to be very particular while presenting the subject , if it deals with a particular era. Some directors make it a point to select proper location besides paying attention on costumes of that particular period. There is no compromise on that. Ankur Kakatkar who is directing the much talked about web series ‘Gondya Aala Re’ based on the life of Chaphekar brothers , the great freedom fighters from Mahararastra, has been working very hard on his project.

Arun has selected a suitable location in Bhor village in Maharashtra. Going with the tradition of the pre independence era, particularly in villages, the director had instructed all the lady characters, including the lead female character played by Pallavi Patil, during the course of shooting, to move barefoot. And therefore, during the entire day of the shooting Pallavi had to move barefoot. Initially she did have a problem. As being very particular about cleanliness, she used to wash her feet after every scene. But, later she realised that she had to be a perfectionist and hence practised her walks barefoot while moving from one house to another.

On many occasions, she had to stand barefoot, while giving photo pose before shooting a scene with her husband played by Bhushan Pradhan who used to be in chappals to go with the tradition. This web series is now getting ready for release on 15th August 2019. And with this series the web world is likely to be more popular among Marathi viewers.
