I want to concentrate on lead parts in Hindi films now
It’s his respect for “Renuka Shahane tai” that enthused Vaibhav Tatwawaadi to take up Robindro’s character in the recently released web film, Tribhanga, where he played Kajol’s onscreen brother. His performance got noticed and the response to the film has not just been satisfying but motivating as well, for the actor, known for his Marathi films. Tatwawaadi reveals he’s
already being approached for Hindi projects. “All this love is simply overwhelming. I’ve done four Hindi films so far but never played such a role. It’s Renuka tai’s conviction that finally did wonders for me,” says the actor who has worked in Bollywood projects such as Hunterrr, Bajirao Mastani (both 2015), Lipstick Under My Burkha (2017) and Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi (2019).
While he has mostly done lead roles in Marathi films, in Bollywood he only got to play supporting parts. So the actor now wants to focus on playing pivotal parts. The first step towards that is his next, Makarand Mane’s romantic Hindi film, where he plays the pivotal role alongside Anjali Patil.
“I’ve been thinking of concentrating on lead parts in Hindi and wanted to plan my journey accordingly when
I got this offer. I already have strong support in the Marathi film industry, and I want to build a place in Hindi films as well. So, yes I’m going to be choosy now on,” says the actor, adding he’s keen on being a part of commercial Hindi films.
“But this doesn’t mean I won’t take up strong supporting parts. The lines are somewhat blurring,” says Tatwawaadi, who also has a web series and two Marathi films in the pipeline.
