Sharad Kelkar has entertained the audience with his acting prowess for several years now. Some time back, this 47-year-old actor acted in the biographical film Srikanth, starring Rajkummar Rao and directed by Tushar Hiranandani. He charged only Rs 101 as a fee for this film. Now, Sharad Kelkar revealed the reason behind it in the News 18 India’s program Diamond States Summit – Maharashtra. Sharad said that Tushar didn’t have the money he wanted to charge for the film. The actor thought that it was better not to demand so much money from Tushar. Secondly, Sharad Kelkar said that Tushar Hiranandani is also his old friend. Sharad recalled Tushar honestly telling him that if he had the funds, he would have given him the required amount. Hearing this, Sharad said that Tushar need not give him anything. The actor told Tushar that he would act in the film for him, their friendship and the story, which should reach the audience.
Sharad Kelkar also said that while talking about films, the most important aspect of any artist’s career is the writer, who thinks and writes a story. He said that when Tushar Hiranandani narrated the story, he liked it very much. Sharad said that it is a true story and his character is Ravi Mantha. Sharad Kelkar called his character an interesting one, and said that he never thought that any director would give him such a role. He said that this is because the actors are cast based on stereotypes prevalent in our industry. Sharad Kelkar said that if someone is tall, he is cast as a villain or a police officer.
Sharad Kelkar believes in his destiny and said that he never thought that he would become an actor. He recalled that he used to stutter and one who fumbles cannot have any scope in acting as a career. He said that he studied and pursued a degree in the Masters of Business Administration MBA. He had decided to go ahead with 3-4 options in mind. He has now eventually settled as one of the most sought-after actors.
