Now, a Marathi film on the first Superstar of Marathi stage Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar
During the 60s Dr. Kashinath Ghanekar turned the first superstar of Marathi stage . His memorable performances in super hit Marathi plays like ‘Raigadala Jenvha Jaag Yete‘, ‘Ithe Oshalala Mrityu‘, ‘Ashrunchi Jhali Phule‘,’Garambhicha Bapu‘, ‘Aanandi Gopal‘, ‘Shitu‘, ‘Tujhe Aahe Tujhapashi‘, ‘Sundar Mi Honar‘, & ‘Madhumanjiri‘ had won the hearts of drama lovers in Maharashtra. As far as acting was concerned Dr. Ghanekar was an institution in himself.
Now, Viacom 18 Motion Pictures will be presenting a Marathi feature film ‘Ani…Kashinath Ghanekar‘ on this acting legend, which they propose to release during coming Diwali this year. Directed by Abhijit Deshpande, the film stars Subodh Bhave in title role along with other versatile artistes Sonali Kulkarni & Sumit Raghavan. For Subodh Bhave, who has portrayed great personalities like Balgandharva & Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak in the biopics on their lives, this is another big challenge for him.
