The journey of most of the talented artistes in the acting field, has been from stage to television and finally the feature films. The best examples are artistes like Vikram Gokhale, Nana Patekar, Reema Lagoo, Usha Nadkarni, Shivaji Satam, Ramesh Bhatkar, Amruta Subhash, Sunil Barve, Subodh Bhave,  Mrunmayee Deshpande, Siddharth Chandekar and so on. But, now days, some of the artistes directly get into television and films, through modeling , auditions or various reality shows,  held to select  the best acting talents.  And, if you have to be into  films, you have to be an all rounder, with acting plus dance skills. Therefore, female artistes in particular are equipping themselves, by learning different forms of dances, besides acting.

However, the general observation for the past few years is that our Marathi film makers have given scope to many television artistes.  Right from Sai Tamhankar, Tejaswini Pandit, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Abhijit Khandkekar, Siddharth Chandekar, Aniket Vishwasrao, Santosh Juvekar, Aditi Sarangdhar, Mukta Barve, Umesh kamat, Priya Bapat to Spruha Joshi and so on; everybody found suitable roles in Marathi films.

In the recent past, Mrunal Dusanis also found roles in Marathi films, after her successful career on television. Suyash Tilak has also found roles in films and so have  Bhushan Pradhan and Sankruti Balgude, the popular pair of ‘Pinjra’. Very recently, we saw Vaibhav Tatwawadi finding good offers from Marathi films. ‘Swapnanchya Palikadle’ TV actress Gauri Nalavade made a successful debut through ‘Friends’ that too opposite Swapnil Joshi.   And now, popular Marathi TV actress  Priya Marathe’s two films ‘Vighnaharta Mahaganapati’ and ‘1234’ are ready for release shortly. Isn’t that a good news for our television artistes?
