Some artistes become popular with the name of important character played by them in the film. After the release of the film ‘Balak Palak’, Prathamesh Parab was identified with his character name of Vishu in this film. Later, when he did the film ‘Timepass’ he received the identity of Dagadu , the lead character played by him in this film. But now, after the release of his latest film ‘Takatak’, he has received his new identity as ‘Thokya’, which is an important character in this film, though it is not the lead role.

This clearly indicates that Prathamesh has played this character in such a way that wherever he has gone after the release of this film, he has been called with the name ‘Thokya’. Speaking about this new identity, Prathamesh says, “Whether it is Vishu, Dagadu or Thokya, the credit for these roles go to writers and directors of these three films. All the youngsters feel that they should have a friend like ‘Thokya’ played by me in this film. And this is a good compliment for this character. Actually, Thokya is the real hero of this film, but he has not behaved like a hero through this character and that is the reason behind this character’s popularity.”
