I have been focusing especially on Marathi films for the last five years. I am not actively doing anything to get into Hindi cinema. So, when I did my first Marathi film, I had a huge challenge to learn the language and correct pronunciations. I could not write, speak or read Marathi. In fact, I didn’t study Marathi in school.
And I studied in an Army school so it was a more cosmopolitan atmosphere. But otherwise, I was raised equally as a Marathi and Punjabi child. Over the last few years since I’ve been working in the Marathi film industry, I have become more Marathi, thanks to all the love that I have garnered. Have you retained any Punjabi traits in your personality?
So my mom used to perform in army functions and all. She comes from an army background and they give platforms for them to show their talent and courage. Since then I have been living on the stage. When my mom was four months pregnant with me, which was the last time she performed on the stage. I’d say Maa ke pet se dancing seekh kar aayi hoon. But since childhood I worked towards becoming an actress. Whether it will be Marathi, Hindi or Punjabi I had no clue. I always wanted to become an actress but I didn’t know what exactly I’d be able to do. 'Apsara' was the biggest milestone of my career. The 'Apsara' song from Natrang changed everything for you. Hence it becomes an international co-production. We will be shooting the film in Marathi and English simultaneously. Only 10-15% portions of the film will be shot in real locations in Maharashtra. So the entire VFX setup will be built up there. I was telling them that we’re now shooting this film in the UK and we have this huge studio from the UK and a Hollywood based studio who are interested in co-producing the film, and we’re shooting in Hollywood or for that matter in the UK. Yesterday, I was talking to my in-laws who are based in the UK. This film is not going to cater to only the Marathi audience but to anyone across the globe who is interested in any kind of history. You know, I don’t think anybody in Marathi cinema has thought of taking any film globally in terms of making. But taking it globally, making it a hundred notches higher is absolutely Akshay’s vision. For the last 2-3 years we have been on it. Initially, Rahul and I have been discussing this. What role did Akshay Bardapurkar, Founder of Planet Marathi play in making this film happen? Jaysingh Pawar’s book based on Tararani which is titled Moghulmardini Chhatrapati Tararani from where we have taken the title as well as his understanding of Chhatrapati Tararani. So basically the reference for this was that the script was coming from Dr. You can’t really have 100% factual evidence. But again, history is one person’s perspective. What references did you rely on to get into the character?įortunately, there are a lot of references available from that era. I’ll be playing a character from a royal family so there’s a lot of responsibility. This one is going to be a step ahead of that. Hirkani (the film) was my first historical film. Apart from that, there’s the body language and spoken language that I need to inculcate. I’m now learning horse riding, sword fighting and laathi-kaathi.
Well, I have started training for the basics of the war sequences in the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj era. How was the response to the announcement of your Marathi-Hollywood film Moghulmardini Chhatrapati Tararani?
