“I am more keen on doing films and stage”- Astad Kale
Television gives you name and fame. One such youngster from Pune is Astad Kale, who is more known as a Marathi television actor. Astad, who during his earlier years was trained in classical music, did perform in classical plays, including Paresh Mokashi directed classical play ‘Lagna Kallol‘. He was actively associated with Marathi stage in Pune, till he found suitable roles in Marathi serials ‘Oon Paus‘, ‘Vadalvaat‘ followed by ‘Asambhav‘, ‘Agnihotra‘, ‘Pudhcha Paul‘ and so on. Presently, he is playing lead role in ongoing TV serial ‘Saraswati‘.
Astad has also performed in films like ‘Platform‘( In lead role) besides, ‘Mission Possible‘ and ‘Nirop‘. His next film ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ in the lead role opposite Sanskruti Balgude, is all set to release on 24th June 2016. And obviously, Astad is excited about it. When Marathi Movie World met Astad recently, he frankly admitted that he was more keen on doing films and stage. “Television does help you reach every household in Maharashtra, but, when you perform on stage or in films, it’s a totally different experience,” he said.
Astad was unlucky not to find suitable roles in films, because film makers felt that he was too busy as a TV artiste. When we asked Astad, what he felt about the success achieved by the film ‘Sairat‘, he quickly reacted, ” ‘Sairat‘ has brought good days for Marathi films. I appreciate their success.” He concluded.
Sanskruti Balgude is yet to come out of her character in ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani’
Many times a particular artiste gets so much involved with his or her character, that it takes a long time for that artiste, to come out of that character. This has happened with popular Marathi film and TV actress Sanskruti Balgude. It may be recalled that few years ago, when Sanskruti Balgude performed in popular serial ‘Pinjara‘ . It was very difficult for Sanskruti to come out of the character of Anandi , as even after the show was over, she was recognized as Anandi.
Sanskruti hasn’t had much success with few films she did later. But, her dancing skills are known to all, when she performs at most of the popular award events. Now, her next Marathi film ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ is all set to release on 24th June and Sanskruti is eagerly waiting for this film’s release. Recently, when we met her, we did talk about her role in this film. And, the talented actress said that she was yet to come out of the character played by her in this film, though the shooting of the film got over long back. “It’s such an emotion filled role,” she said. By the way, her film ‘Bhay‘ is also due for release. There are three more films, she is doing and they are ‘Nivadung‘ and Mahesh Manjrekar’s ‘Friends Unlimited’. But, she doesn’t want say much about her third film right now.
Team of ‘Damalelya Babachi Kahani’ promise a sensible subject
Nitin Chavan has been associated with Marathi stage for the past several years in Pune. Now, he has turned a film maker, with his forthcoming Marathi film ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ . He has not only produced this film along with Vishal Dhanavade, but has also directed it along with Yogesh Jadhav. On Monday evening, he unveiled the first look of his film along with the most important song of father and daughter emotional bonding, on which the film is based.
Apart from makers of this film, the lead important artistes of this film, Sandeep Khare, Sanskruti Balgude, Deepti Bhagwat, child artiste Shreya Pasalkar & Astaad Kale were also present. Nitin Chavan who has himself written the script of this film, explained as to how he was inspired to make this film, after watching the injustice on young girls in our country. “I have specifically presented the concern of the young girl’s father, who most of the time thinks about the safety of his daughter. At the same time, I have tried to present the feelings of the daughter for her father, who has formed an opinion about him, that her father is the World’s greatest father,” he added.
The first look and the song video, clearly suggest that the makers of this film and the lead artistes, especially Sandeep Khare, Sanskruti Balgude, Deepti Bhagwat and Aastaad Kale are likely to touch the hears of the Marathi audience, with their emotion filled characters in this film. They promise a sensible subject through their film. Being a family social film, ‘Damlelya Babachi Kahani‘ film has already invited the attention of critics at various international film festivals.
