It
doesn't
happen
every
day
that
an
actor
in
a
cameo
steals
the
thunder
of
a
lead
actor
in
the
film.
We're
speaking
about
Sharad
Kelkar's
cameo
in
Laxmii,
and
how
he
left
audience
bewitched
with
his
act
as
a
transgender
woman.
Interestingly,
many
netizens
trolled
the
film
and
Akshay
Kumar,
but
none
said
a
word
against
Kelkar.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
an
entertainment
portal,
when
Kelkar
was
asked
about
the
most
challenging
part
of
playing
Laxmii,
he
said,
"Everything
was
challenging.
To
get
the
body
language,
Raghav
Sir
is
a
master,
he
guided
me.
Then
I
saw
some
footages
of
Akshay
Sir,
and
Raghav
Sir
was
helped.
I
saw
a
lot
of
documentaries
to
learn
their
body
language
and
did
my
homework."
(sic)
He
further
added,
"The
speech
scene,
I
had
no
reference
of,
for
me
to
do
that
vulnerable
scene
was
slightly
difficult.
Before
the
scene,
I
was
chatting
with
the
transgenders
on
sets
and
listening
to
their
stories.
It
was
so
painful
to
hear
what
they
have
been
through,
ill-treatment
from
family
and
society.
I
think
that
the
pain
inside
me
helped
me
portray
that
scene
well."
Sharad
further
shared
with
the
entertainment
portal
that
he
also
interacted
with
transgenders
to
learn
their
back
story,
and
tried
to
understand
the
pain
behind
their
smile
and
hardship.
"I
got
goosebumps
and
was
teary-eyed.
We
talk
about
our
pain
but
it
is
nothing
in
front
of
them," said
Kelkar.
Talking
about
the
film,
even
though
Laxmii
opened
to
mixed
reviews,
Kelkar's
act
in
the
film
was
one
of
the
main
highlights
of
the
film.
We're
sure
his
fans
would
love
to
see
him
more
often
on
the
silver
screen.
