Sayali, Suvrat speak about their roles in ‘Goshta eka Paithanichi’
Much awaited Marathi film ‘Goshta eka Paithanichi’ is all set to release this Friday and therefore there is a lot of curiosity to know what the film is all about ? Lead artistes of this film Sayali Sanjeev and Suvrat Joshi have tried to explain about their characters in this film and how they prepared for these roles.
Sayali who plays a woman stiching blouses and making fall bidding for the sarees says that she always wants to study her characters and prepare for the same before the shooting. And therefore when she was offered this role, she actually joined a stichting class to understand the techniques of stitching so that she could portray her character naturally.
Suvrat who plays a flower vendor in this film, says that he prepared himself by standing next to flower vendors on the street and observed their body language closely. These characters though look simple, are very challenging to portray and that is why both these lead artistes studied them in their own ways. Produced by Akshay Vilas Bardapurkar, Piyush Singh, Golden Resho Films and Planet Marathi and directed by Shantanu Ganesh Rode, this film also stars renowned artistes like Mrunal Kulkarni, Suhita Thatte, Milind Gunaji, Madhura Velankar, Girija Oak, Aditi Dravid in lead roles.

The next morning we find her in a different mood, when we see her tearing off and burying her latest medical report and divorce papers into an earthen pot, while planting a new variety in her garden. And then she utters a very meaningful dialogue which relates to how important is life for all of us and we are addicted to it too.
