Varad Chavan is new addition to ‘Runji’
After completing 300 episodes, TV serial ‘Runji‘ on Star Pravah channel, seems to be going for a change. Now, the makers of this serial have found Varad Chavan to play an important role. And, this tall talented youngster, known for some of his negative roles in the past, has made his presence felt, on his entry into this otherwise lifeless serial. No wonder, they have also shot a Dandiya dance sequence on Bollywood actress Aliya Bhatt , on the occasion of Navaratri festival. Aliya has performed along with two actresses in the serial. And, this episode will be telecast soon. Needless to mention that it must be promotion for Aliya’s next film.
Even otherwise, Colors channel is trying to make it big, through their forthcoming Bharat Jadhav reality show, which is being advertised heavily. This show will go on air soon, during prime time. Bharat being a big name in Marathi entertainment industry, the show is likely to pose competition to programmes on other channels. By the way, on Colors Marathi channel, we saw a film of Makarand Anaspure ‘Asa Mee Tasa Mee’, which had a 70s traditional Hindi film style story. The other artistes of this film were Rahul Mehendale, Shweta Mehendale & Shruti Marathe in a negative role. Surprisingly, Shruti’s voice didn’t seem to be her own voice. Was it dubbed by anyone else?
Last week, Maiboli channel presented some good Marathi films . They were, Ajinkya Deo’s ‘Jetaa‘, Subodh Bhave’s ‘Ranbhool‘ . There was also a good Marathi drama ‘Hasat Khelat’ starring Ashok Saraf, Nivedita, Puushkar Shrotri, & Smita Tambe, shown on 14th October.
During the week, the awards for the Zee Marathi serials have been announced in a function. And, we understand that ‘Ka Re Durava’ has bagged nine awards in different categories, including ‘Best Serial’ award. And, Ketkar kaka and kaki bagging best Father and Mother’s awards. The best actor and actress awards have been won by Khandoba , Mhalsa and Banu respectively. ‘Dil Dosti Duniyadari’ was declared as best family and so on.

The debutant actress who plays Shamika is a young theater actress from Nashik called Mrunal Dusanis. In the wake of the popularity of the show we spoke to Mrunal about her success. Here is what she has to say.
Your character of Shamika in the show ‘Mazhiya Priyala Preet Kalena’ is catching on. What do you feel is the reason?
– I feel the character of a simple innocent and a bit naive girl who totally loves her parents and is family oriented with the girl next door values made the viewers identify with her and touched a chord somewhere. It is my first stint in television and I am learning new things everyday especially the technicalities which are so important. Previously I had done only experimental theater in my home town Nashik but this television stint was something new to me and I am enjoying it. Mrunal Dusanis, Shamika Photo

Other senior actors on the show like Suhita Thatte, Sanjay Mone, Amita Khopkar,have taken me under their wings and make things easier for me and I am very thankful to them for that.
Ekta Kapoor is the undisputed queen of television. Does she give her reactions to your show?
Yes. Ekta madam regularly is in touch with me and has always complemented me on my acting stint and has been encouraging me a lot.
How has the journey from Nasik to Mumbai been?
It has been a very good journey starting from overnight trips for my theater work and now I am firmly settled in Mumbai for a career in the entertainment industry. Even otherwise, Mumbai has been kind to me with a premier channel like ZEE MARATHI offering me a prime time show.
