when it comes to love im the old fashioned kind much like my period character says vikram gaikwad who is charming the marathi tv viewers in his role as justice ranade toi caught up with him on his visit to nagpur playing the fair judge the mature husband and a reformist is a balancing act that vikram gaikwad is managing with lan in the serial unch mazha zhoka so much so that people of all age groups want me to behave like him even off screen its a pressure that i find tough to deal with but i am getting used to it says vikram so does playing a cult character limit an actors choices when it comes to getting work in future smiling he says fortunately for me this role landed me a great film which is based on the life of dr prakash amte and none other than nana patekar suggested me for a role in this film so i am very grateful to this serial also i think without the make up and costume i look very differentfantastic city speaking about his short visit to nagpur vikram says city of nagpur has impressed me a great deal what roads infrastructure and cleanliness super we people from mumbai and pune have this thing that only these two cities are good enough but this visit has certainly transformed my outlookmaking it big veer the conversation back to his acting and ask him how difficult or easy it was to play a period character and he says i think it was challenging but the twomonth break that i had before we started this serial gave me a lot of time to read books etc to get to know about that era i am a maratha and i play a brahmin in this serial the language tone and tenor was something that i had to pay minute attention to but i did it because i knew that this is one role that could make it for me in the entertainment world and it hashooked and booked this fame also means his personal life is closely monitored he laughs and says yeah when i changed my fb status to engaged to actress akshata kulkarni there were quite a few fans who were surprised and shocked but i am in a relationship and though in expressing love i am kinda old fashioned much like my character this was something i didnt want to hidemedium no bar actors mostly leave the tellydom when their filmi careers take off ask vikram if hell do it too and he says honestly i do not think that marathi actors have that luxury of choosing one medium over the other but we do have the choice of choosing a good script and i will take that be it in tv or in films will he do hindi serialsfilms too why not if as an actor i am offered an interesting role i am open to doing it
