Sharad Kelkar
If you haven't watched Lai Bhaari because of linguistic shortcomings, get hold of your Maharashtrian friend and watch the film for the incredible performance of Sharad Kelkar. When he comes on the screen, you might feel like you have seen the guy somewhere. You have, because he played a grey character in Goliyon Ki Raasleela- Ram-Leela and has also garnered considerable fame as a television actor. In Lai Bhaari, he returns with a greyer shade that won him his first film award. While he asserts that an award gives a little more appreciation, he is prouder to have been able to contribute to a team effort that made Lai Bhaari, the highest grossing Marathi film of all time. As to whether the movie has shot him into the limelight or not, he says, "It has obviously helped, but I want to experiment with new characters. I have to be careful, because as of now, I have only received offers to play a similar kinds of roles. As an actor, I want to keep experimenting and I am here to learn so I do not want to take up every role that comes my way because I do not want to grow as an image, but as actor."
