I am in the original Marathi play as well. I have done about 80 to 90 shows of the play. Then Vijay Ghatge decided to make it into a movie.

In the play, I played Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

But in the movie, I play Lokmanya Tilak. My character is a professor who has links with the local goon because he leaks exam papers. Now he is under threat, as everybody knows about his real identity.

My forthcoming films: Anurag Kashyap's Black Friday, Marathi film Dukhace Shwapit, which is based on a novel by Ranganath Pathare, and a Marathi one-man show Anand Ovary – a 100-minute play without an interval.
