Mumbai : After being a successful actor and writer in the Indian film and television industry for a decade-and-a-half, Sharad Kelkar is excited about adding another feather to his hat. He is debuting as a producer with the Marathi film, Idak. It’s his passion for bringing good stories to the screen that encouraged him to turn producer.
Talking about it, Sharad says, *“I’ve always been in love with good storytelling. The idea behind becoming a producer is to come up with impactful stories, have an efficient team to paint them well and support them and the projects with adequate infrastructure. I’ve always been a valuer of regional cinema and making a Marathi film for my debut as a producer is like going back to my roots*
Idak is the story of a 32-year-old man, Namya, who goes on a pilgrimage and is asked by his mother to sacrifice a goat. The narrative sees the mother-son relationship and how it evolves during the journey. Directed by Deepak Gawade, the movie stars Sandeep Phatak and Usha Naik in the leading roles.
