Makers of ‘Katyar Kaljat Ghusali’ introduce Sachin as Khan Saheb
Last time, when they had a press conference, the makers of ‘Katyar Kaljaat Ghusali’ had introduced Shankar Mahadevan, as one of the lead actors of their film, playing the role of classical singer Pandit Bhanushankar. But, this time, it was the turn of well known actor Sachin Pilgaonkar. Sachin was introduced as Khaansaheb Ustad Hussain, the classical singer from Bareli, well versed with Urdu language. The function was held in Mumbai on Thursday evening, to not only introduce his character in the film, through few clippings; but also present his long journey in the film industry, through a short film. Sachin’s wife actress Supriya, daughter Shriya and his mother were also present on this occasion.
Incidentally, Sachin is playing this parallel but negative role of a classical singer, in this film and has spoken Urdu language throughout the film, without speaking a word of Marathi. The multi talented actor, while speaking on the occasion, thanked the makers of this film, for giving him an opportunity to perform this negative role, which he was playing for the first time.“I would love to play all such roles, which would appeal me and also suit my age.” said Sachin Pilgaonkar.
Sachin himself is a very good singer; but, since this film is based on classical singing , he has taken the voice of Rahul Deshpande, grandson of great classical singer Vasantrao Deshpande, who had performed this role, in the drama based on this subject. Hindi television actress Sakshi Tanwar plays his wife in this film and Amruta Khanvilkar, plays his daughter. Another highlight of the film is its music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy, who are making their debut as music director in this film.
