Addinath Kothare Talks About His Journey In Bollywood And Shares Differences Between Hindi And Marathi Cinema

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.
