Growing up, actor Akshay Kelkar had decided that he wanted to be an art director. The Crime Patrol actor went on to become an assistant art director in the Marathi film industry. However, a few years later, the Kamala actor decided to discover his potential in front of the camera. After College Cafe (2017), Akshay will be now seen in the Sonali Kulkarni starrer, Madhuri. \u201cThis film has everything a newcomer like me could wish for. To start with, it is directed by Swapna Waghmare Joshi. Secondly, it has stars like Sonali and Sharad Kelkar. And, lastly, it has Urmila Matondkar as the presenter,\u201d says the actor.<\/p>\n
Akshay shares a fun incident he had with his director, where he had approached her a few years ago. \u201cSwapna ma\u2019am is genuinely a nice person. I told her how she ignored me on social media and never responded to my messages. We are friends now. She makes every actor feel comfortable,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
Akshay shares a great equation with Sonali. So, did it translate off screen too? \u201cTo be honest, she is a gem of a person. She praised my reading during the workshops and I was so thrilled about that. She never burdened us with her star status. In fact, she always gave us room to explore and experiment,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n
The actor has appeared in a few web series and is looking forward to working in all mediums. \u201cI won\u2019t be lying if I say that I am still struggling. I went through a horrible phase in 2017, where I lost a big project. I am glad that I moved on, and now, I am keen on doing good and substantial work,\u201d he concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
