Swapnil wants to get back to TV, theatre this year

SWAPNIL JOSHI,

PFor 2022, actor Swapnil Joshi has new goals. This includes going back to exploring avenues that he hasn’t for a while, such as theatre and TV. “I have been a TV product,” says Joshi, who started his acting career as a child artiste with Uttar Ramayan and Shri Krishna. He adds, “In 2022, I will go back to Marathi theatre, because I always feel theatre hones your skill. I haven’t done theatre in the last eight years... I will probably do a Marathi play this year or a limited episode TV series. Television is my first love and I like to go back to it, once every three to four years.”

While these are his professional goals for the year, the actor already has his 2022 work calendar sorted. And the lineup looks exciting.

“I am looking at different projects in 2022. I have two web shows. They will air in the latter half of 2022. Two of my films are ready for release. And hopefully, they will make their way to theatres soon. One is a big project and the other is a small one, but both are very special to me,” he reveals.

The 44-year-old actor, who ended 2021 on a high with two OTT projects as well as announcement of the launch of his own OTT platform, also had some personal achievements.

“Last year was a mixed bag. It began with Samantar 2 and ended with Bali. The response to both projects has been amazing. I also bought myself a car, and gifted my wife one. But the pandemic has been tough, and I hope that things improve soon and do not worsen,” Joshi ends.

I haven’t done theatre in the last eight years. And I always feel that theatre brushes up and hones your skill.
