Humble request to producers to put some money on me: The Family Man star Sharad Kelkar

Humble request to producers to put some money on me: The Family Man star Sharad Kelkar

There is no denying the fact that Sharad Kelkar is one of the most talented actors working in showbiz. After proving his mettle on television and in several successful films, the actor is now also winning raves for his work on streaming shows.

Kelkar can be currently seen in Amazon Prime Video’s much-talked-about show The Family Man 2, which has been performing really well ever since hitting the streaming service on June 4, 2021. The actor, who is shown to be in love with the female lead of the show, says that he wants producers to take a chance on him.


“I am waiting for people to look at me. When will people see that I am also capable enough? I also want to take the burden of a project on my shoulders. On the series front, I have not signed anything. Hopefully, I will do a big OTT show,” Kelkar told a newswire in an interview.

The actor said that since he has mostly played supporting characters in films, producers may be baulking at the idea of signing him in a leading role, as typecasting is so common in the industry.

“Also, the kind of films I have been doing, like supporting roles, there might be a thing that people consider me as a supporting role. Typecasting happens. It is a humble request to all producers, consider me and put some money on me," he added.

For an outsider like him, Kelkar said it has been a struggle to survive in the industry. Talking about how he landed the role in The Family Man, the actor said, “I was doing all villainous roles in films be it with Dutt sahab (Sanjay Dutt) or Akshay (Kumar). I wanted to break free from this and did not want to get typecast. I wanted to learn and grow. When Mukesh Chhabra offered me this role, I gave the audition and then had a meeting with Raj and DK, who are brilliant writers.  I am glad I was getting to work with Manoj Bajpayee sir.”

Kannada priest makes India’s first AI film without actors or crew on £9,500 budget

In a quiet village near Bengaluru, a temple priest has done something no one expected. He made a full-length Kannada film without hiring a single actor, technician or musician. Narasimha Murthy, who serves at the Hanumantharai Temple in Siddehalli, created Love You, a 95-minute film entirely powered by Artificial Intelligence.

Murthy didn’t come from a film background, nor did he have access to a big team. Instead, he joined hands with Nuthan, a graphic designer who taught himself how to use AI tools. Together, the two-man team used around 30 different AI applications to design the cast, create visuals, generate drone-like shots, compose music and even script dialogues. The film cost £9,500 (₹10 lakh) to make, most of which went into buying software licences, and took just six months to complete.
