Mahesh Kothare began his acting career as a child artiste. He acted in both Marathi as well as Hindi films. He directed his first Marathi film ‘Dhumdhadaka‘ , when he was 31 years old. This is what his son Adinath is doing today. Incidentally, like his father, Adinath too has performed as a child artiste. He too acted in Hindi as well as Marathi films. After acting in films, Adinath who is now 31 years old, is all set to direct his debut Marathi film‘Paani’ and the work on the script of this film is presently going on.

So, can we say that Adinath is following his father’s footsteps ? For the past one year, Adinath has toured many drought affected places in Maharashtra, to study the situation. At some of the places, he also saw some watershed management projects and was inspired to make a film on this subject. At present his project is in the pipeline and the details will be finalized soon.
