Sharad Kelkar impressed one and all with his performance in the film Laxmii. The actor has some interesting projects in the pipeline and one of them is Bhuj: The Pride of India.

We recently interacted with him and asked him for an update on the film’s shoot, to which the actor said, “We have finished most of the part. But unfortunately, because of the lockdown we couldn’t shoot a few portions. I think there’s a schedule of 13-14 days starting in the end of November. So, we will finish the film now.”

Directed by Abhishek Dudhaiya, Bhuj: The Pride of India also stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Nora Fatehi, Ammy Virk, and Pranitha Subhash. The film is slated to release on Disney+ Hotstar.

Sharad also has a film titled Darbaan lined-up for a release. The movie will premiere on Zee5 on 4th December 2020.

While talking about the movie, the actor told us, “There’s one film releasing on 4th December. I have a very small role in that. It’s again a different kind of role where you see me in a different avatar. It’s called Darbaan. It’s a beautiful story and Sharib Hashmi is the lead; he is a brilliant actor. I used to sing in my college days, so, with a little bit of music sense that I have, I can say that this album (Darbaan’s music album) is the most melodious album of the year.”

With a foundation in Indian classical and Carnatic music, and a career launched by a serendipitous meeting with Shankar Mahadevan, Anusha’s rise to prominence has been a blend of talent, timing, and tenacity.
