bhushan pradhan was in nagpur recently to stage hamlet a marathi adaptation of bards celebrated tragedy in which he plays a negative role of laertes in this play his role is quite small as a lead actor of marathi industry does he feel lost sometimes in this medley of actors bhushan replies with complete honesty initially i did feel little lost as i appear only in the first and third act and not seen in the second act it is also a transformation from a positive family loving person to a negative character but then this is my first commercial play and theatre is like a workshop of acting especially when it is a chandrakant kulkarni play the chemistry and comfort that i share with sumeet raghavan and others is something that makes me want to be in the play till the endthe actor is equally excited about his debut hindi film anya directed by simmy joseph wherein he will be seen along with raima sen and atul kulkarni usually when actors glide towards bollywood regional projects become their second priority is there any likelihood of such a thing happening in his case not known to be a hypocrite the actor replies i already have a couple of marathi films lined up for release this year including shinga but honestly i dont mind if marathi films take a backseat now im already late when it comes to entering bollywooda fitness enthusiast he has relentlessly worked on his physique for years but these days bhushan is also focussed on growing organic food at home i stay alone in a flat in mumbai he shares and adds since i dont have pets at home i grow almost 90 plants in different pots which are kept in a passage i also have plants in every room and i talk to them they are my babies and add colour to my life from mulberry to lemons ginger chillies curry leaves and lots of flowers i grow many things at home and there are mynas sparrows and crows visiting my every day along with pigeons i feed all the birds but honestly i cant stand the pigeons because they have killed many of my plants i have tried all the tricks including placing a hens egg in their nest to confuse them so that they leave the place it has worked to an extent but they still continue to bother me
