Sharad Kelkar: Perfect Casting for Shivaji Maharaj

[Anupama]

Sharad Kelkar played Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in *Tanhaji*.

I'm not against any actor and I wish all who take on legendary roles in Bollywood the very best. I'm just saying that some characters need a certain gravitas and relatability. It's not only about good acting; it's about how convincingly they become the character.

[Keerthi]

His voice alone can stir up a frenzy – that's the power he has.

[Jayant]

I don't think Ritesh fits Shivaji's role; he lacks the dialogue delivery and voice that Sharad has.

[Raghav]

Ranbir looks like a drunkard – puffed‑up face, fake hair – this film is just burning money.

[Gayatri]

Brilliant actor – pure talent!

[Sakshi]

Sharad is my Shivaji Maharaj, period.

[Seema]

He looks exactly how I picture Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

[Balaji]

Perfect casting is like using the right spice in biryani – you don't notice it on its own, but if it's off, the whole dish suffers.

Sharad Kelkar is that spice. Not the loudest ingredient, but he makes everything feel authentic.

Miscasting, on the other hand, is like putting ketchup on biryani... technically edible, but everyone will judge you.

[Menon]

He's a brilliant actor.

[Manoj]

Instead of Ritesh Deshmukh, they should've cast him.

You've got to see how Dr. Amol Kolhe portrayed Maharaj!
