From the portrayal of his character as Baji Prabhu Deshpande to the sword fighting sequences in the film, every aspect of his performance in the movie is nothing less than praiseworthy.
Here are some aspects of Sharad Kelkar’s performance ‘Har Har Mahadev’ that are hard to miss.
Portrayal of his character
Sharad Kelkar’s portrayal of Baji Prabhu Deshpande received a lot of praise from audiences all over. From his body language to his dialogue delivery seemed as though it was coming from a formidable warrior who made history.
His look as Baji Prabhu Deshpande
We could tell that Sharad Kelkar left no stone unturned to prepare for his role as Baji Prabhu Deshpande. He not only bulked up but also shaved his head for doing justice to his role in the movie. His long and thick moustache and his shaved head make him look like a fearless warrior of the past.
Fighting sequence
Sharad Kelkar’s sword-fighting sequences were surely a treat to the audiences’ eyes. We can’t even imagine the long hours of practice that he must have been through to be able to swing the sword with such ease and precision. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that we had goosebumps as we watched the sword fight unfold on the silver screen.
The friendship between Shivaji Maharaj and Baji Prabhu Deshpande
The camaraderie and brotherhood of Shivaji Maharaj played by Subodh Bhave and Baji Prabhu Deshpande played by Sharad Kelkar was one of the highlights of this movie. The two actors were surely a perfect fit for these roles as we can tell they share a similar bond on screen as well.
His versatility
If his previous work wasn’t enough proof, Sharad Kelkar has surely proved his range through Har Har Mahadev. Be it emotional or action scenes, the actor has given his 100 percent. He has portrayed a lot of different characters throughout his career. He has proved yet again why he is known as a versatile actor in the Indian Film Industry.
These were just a few aspects of his character that we talked about. He has given a well-rounded performance in this film and impressed us once again. We cannot wait to see what upcoming projects the actor is going to bring to us in 2023.
