Addinath
Kothare
stands
out
as
a
prominent
figure
in
both
the
Hindi
and
Marathi
entertainment
realms.
His
repertoire
includes
successful
ventures
in
television
and
film,
with
recent
notable
appearances
in
hit
series
like
'City
of
Dreams'
and
'Bajao.'
In
an
exclusive
conversation
with
Hindustan
Times,
the
actor
delved
into
the
distinctions
between
Hindi
and
Marathi
cinema,
shedding
light
on
his
journey
in
Bollywood.
Highlighting
the
disparities
between
the
two
cinematic
worlds,
Addinath
pointed
out
that
Bollywood
caters
to
a
larger
audience,
resulting
in
more
substantial
budgets
for
its
films.
In
contrast,
Marathi
films
operate
on
smaller
budgets
due
to
a
comparatively
smaller
audience.
He
emphasized
that
Marathi
films
are
primarily
driven
by
content,
a
characteristic
not
always
synonymous
with
Bollywood.
Expressing
his
eagerness
to
explore
diverse
roles
across
genres,
Addinath
conveyed
his
satisfaction
with
the
array
of
characters
coming
his
way,
spanning
comedy,
action,
and
thriller
genres.
Despite
his
established
fan
base
in
Marathi
cinema,
he
emphasized
that
it
hasn't
provided
a
shortcut
to
success
in
Bollywood.
Acknowledging
the
need
to
start
afresh,
he
disclosed
that
auditions
were
the
gateway
to
securing
every
role
in
his
Bollywood
career.
In
addition
to
his
acting
prowess,
Addinath
is
a
director
and
producer.
He
shared
with
Hindustan
Times
his
anticipation
for
the
release
of
'Paani,'
a
film
he
directed
and
produced,
with
backing
from
Priyanka
Chopra.
The
film,
scheduled
for
release
next
year,
narrates
the
poignant
tale
of
a
man
residing
in
a
drought-stricken
village
in
Nanded,
based
on
a
true
story.
Concluding
the
conversation,
Addinath
expressed
gratitude
for
the
opportunity
to
collaborate
with
prominent
Bollywood
actresses.
He
teased
an
upcoming
release
in
Madhuri
Dixit
Nene's
Marathi
production,
slated
for
the
following
year,
rounding
off
the
discussion
on
a
note
of
appreciation
for
the
diverse
experiences
in
his
cinematic
journey.
