MUMBAI: Addinath Kothare is one of the most popular names in the Marathi film industry and he has also been a part of a few Hindi OTT shows. Recently, he was seen in Jio Cinema’s Bajao.

TellyChakkar recently interacted with Addinath and spoke to him about how he chooses a project, his upcoming films, and more...

What’s one thing that makes you say a yes for a project?

It has to be a great script. I think the rarest commodity in the market is the great script. If I happen to find a great script, I have to pounce on it because a character in a great script will be remembered, but if the character is good and the script is not great, nobody will remember the character. So, it is important to be a part of a good story, and that’s why I give 90 percent importance to the script. If the script is good, it doesn’t matter what character I am doing.

Your directorial Paani received a National Award. So, are you planning to wear the director’s hat again soon?

I am continuously acting, and by the grace of god I am getting some good work as an actor. So, maybe after sometime I will direct, but right now I am enjoying my journey as an actor.

Paani will be released soon because of the lockdown we had to wait. There are other two films, one is Shaktimaan; it’s a Marathi film. Then there’s another Marathi film which is produced by Madhuri Dixit. So, these projects are ready and due for release now.
