Veteran actress Usha Nadkarni is known for her frank and straight forward nature. Recently, when we met her, during the first look of forthcoming Marathi film ‘Vakratunda Mahakaya’, and while narrating how did this film happen to her, the actress said, “ Actually, three years ago, director Naik had informed me about it. But, later I thought that he must have opted for someone else. In this field, right from the days of ‘Sinhasan’ till date, neither I have gone to anyone to beg for roles, nor I have called up anyone to inquire about role. Therefore, question of calling director Naik did not arise. However, one day, I received a phone call from him, about starting the shooting of this film and that’s how, I landed in this film.”
Speaking about her character in this film, Usha said, “ I am playing a sales woman, who prepares homemade food and sells it door to door. And, I come across a boy Altaf, who is carrying the toy in the shape of Ganapati. We develop a good relationship. Naman Jain who has performed this role, is really a sweet child and hence we could get along very well with each other, during the entire period of shooting.”
We had seen Usha Nadkarni playing a prominent role in popular TV serial ‘Pavitra Rishta’; so obviously she was questioned, whether she had stopped performing in TV serials. And, prompt came her reply, “I have done enough, on television. It becomes a routine daily schedule; from morning till late evening. For this, I have to wake up early in the morning at 5 am, get ready and prepare my food to carry for the shooting break. Sometimes, it becomes hectic. Now, I enjoy performing in Hindi and Marathi films and I get lot of satisfaction. And, I decide on accepting such roles, only if there is request from other side.” She further informs, “I am playing the role of Grandmother of Riteish Deshmukh, in forthcoming film Great Grand Masti”.
