" NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE " Mahesh Tilekar

Mahesh Tilekar " मुर्ति लहान पण कीर्ति महान " Nothing is impossible for this man. This picture is click at the Dada Kondke studio, pune. from your right : Kuldeep Pawar, Asha Kale, Varsha Usgaonkar, myself & the great Mahesh Tilekar. This song was done for the awareness of Bird Flu. For Venkateshwara Hatcheries, Dance Director Deepali Vichare. This was the first time I worked with Varsha, the star of Marathi films and Asha Kale the yesteryear's star. In this song we also had the legend, the king Nilubhau ( Nilu Phule ). and the funniest part was I am a vegetarian, and the ad was to promote chicken.


Working with Varsha was a great experience , she has the star quality in her and along with that she is very down to earth. Also While shooting had memorable time with Nilu bhau, he shared his shooting experiences those memories are still fresh in my mind.


The All Time Great Marathi Show Ever Happened Till Date Was " TARE TARAKA " and not to mention the organiser, of course its Mahesh Tilekar. This show was in pune, and performed by almost very star for the Marathi film industry, you name it and he was there, a galaxy of marathi actors.



I performed on the song from V.K. Naik's film " Gupchup Gupchup " lyrics " Pahile na me tula " with the most talented Samira Gujar.




Coming back to Mahesh Tilekar, first time I met him in my house, he had come all the way from Poona, with a serial proposal, which didn't workout, then we met on the set of Maratha Battalion, as he had come to learn about film making as he had done serials but not film. he left half way through, after that I kept on hearing about him from various people like how nice he is, he is good at this, good at that, only person in the film industry to pay before you start working and one day Vijay Chavan (one of the great actor in comedy) scolded me when he came to know that I refused Mahesh's serial, he had so much respect for Mahesh and I was very curious about him, what kind of a man he is ? whoever works with him says amazing things about him. And I had made up my mind to work with him , and Mahesh called me for this song with Varsha, I wouldn't have asked for more, in spilt second I said yes. There I got to know him more.
I never stop being surprised by him, as in a Marathi film "Aadhar"which he director had superstar Akshay Kumar and even Jaya Pradha, then he produces and directs a Hindi film with Raghuveer Yadav, his scripts are approved by Rekha, Manisha Koirala, Ravina Tandon and many more, he takes his Taraka troupe ( that is 21 Marathi female stars including yesteryear's) together and performs in front of The President of India Mrs Pratibha Patil, and performs in the International film festival at Goa.publishes a beautiful book on all time Marathi tarakas, gets Madhuri Dikshit Nene, the list goes on and on, recently heard he met Rajnikant and agreed to work with him Hritik Roshan also, and will be meeting Jackie Chan or must have already met him, will have to confirm.
But by and by a nice human being and one of the most meet guy, very clear with his concepts and thoughts, and if you want to get Julia Robert, Britney Spears, or Catharine Zeta Jones to perform here or organise a show on the moon, now you know who else but the one and only " Mahesh Tilekar "

" Campus " Successful serial on Zee

Image
Campus will always remain very close to my heart, 4 years of television success, and all the work on television which I did that is more than 3000 episodes is all because of Campus, the character " Ravi Bhatnager " is still remembered by many, miss so many people who are no more now including Sanjeevji , his wife Geeta who was always full of life, who was a very strong women and always eager to throw a party for smallest reason and treat all of us, we had become a huge Campus family. And now after so many years very few are in touch, just bump in at functions and parties like last week met Resham at Deepali's success party and started remembering the 25 th episode party at Juhu hotel where she had dance till she fell, and I realised how years pass by and just memories remain.
