Actor Sachin Khedekar will always be remembered as the first Subhash Chandra Bose on celluloid
Actor Sachin Khedekar will always be remembered as the first Subhash Chandra Bose on celluloid. The actor, who will be next seen as Dewan Madhavrao, the godfather of legendary painter Raja Ravi Varma in Ketan Mehta's upcoming film says that there's a need to make more films on Indian historical figures as it is a great way to present history to the younger generation. Sachin tells CS about the five historical roles he would love to play:
Lokmanya TilakFor starters, I look a lot like Lokmanya Tilak. I also like Tilak because he was a great nationalist and leader of men. He was also a Maharashtrian like me. I think I will be able to carry off the character quite well.u00a0
Rajiv GandhiI think with the right kind of makeup, I can resemble Rajiv Gandhi. Of course, he was one of the creators of modern India with his decisiveness and dynamism. It would be a great challenge to portray him.u00a0
ChanakyaChanakya is a very fascinating character in terms of ethics, intellect and emotions. I resemble like Chanakya a little and would love to play the role of this great ancient strategist.u00a0
Gautam BuddhaPlaying Gautam Buddha will be a dream come true. I am sure I will be able to look like a monk if I shave off my head. The personality of Buddha is of course interesting for any actor. And I am quite influenced by him too.u00a0
Baji Prabhu DeshpandeHe was one of Shivaji's trusted lieutenants. Baji Prabhu Deshpande is a Maharashtrian hero, who was known for his valour, loyalty and courage. It would be nice to bring such a heroic personality alive on screen.
