Sharad prepares to play Gopinath Munde
Swapnal Tilekar | Apr 13, 2015, 12.37 AM ISTTaking into account the magnitude of this project, Sharad is leaving no stone unturned in preparing for this role. "Gopinath Munde was a huge and very famous Indian leader.
Portraying his character on the big screen is a big responsibility for me and I do not want to make any mistakes. I have started researching for it and am attending the workshops organised by the film's director, SakarRaut, to understand Mundeji's personality. He was also a very witty speaker and to get that aspect right I am not only watching the video clips of his speeches but also meeting people who were around him to get the tone right. I am also taking help from books and news articles," said Sharad. He further added, "My look in the film will be modified time and again as I need to portray the leader right from his young age till his demise. As this will require a lot of research and effort, we will be shooting in segments." Speaking about casting Sharad in the lead role, Sakar said, "I wanted to cast Sharad in this biopic right when I thought of making this film. His voice, personality and acting skills can do justice to Munde's personality. This film will certainly break his villainous image of Lai Bhaari. The film will primarily be shot in Mumbai, Beed and Nagar and will also feature real-life locations such as Bhagwangad where Munde delivered most of his popular speeches."
