Priyadarshan Jadhav:Captivating Artist with the Roots of Promising Talent

Priyadarshan Jadhav | Actor, Director & Screenwriter | Marathi film industry

Marathi theatre has always been accounted for its most culturally rich theatre traditions in the country. Marathi theatre had been exclusively represented by the folk forms for ages and since then it has unfolded and evolved into various successful movies with interesting stories and scripts. The first movie that was ever made in India was in Marathi – Raja Harishchandra which was made by Dadashaheb Phalke in 1913.

Priyadarshan Jadhav – Actor, Director, and Screenwriter is an acclaimed personality in the Marathi film industry. Inclined at an early age into acting, he stepped into D. G. Ruparel College to become a proficient artist. Well-known for his roles in Timepass 2 as Dagadu, along with screenplay writer for Timepass, Priyadarshan received huge applause from the audience and the Marathi industry.

Here are the highlights from the interview where Priyadarshan and Insights Success a business magazines india has taken us through the journey towards becoming a skilled performer.

Brief us about your professional journey in the Marathi Entertainment industry

I came to Mumbai in 1997 and joined D. G. Ruparel College to gain expertise in theatrical performance. It’s the college where I initially received admiration on my talent that I have the caliber to act and the potential to work in showbiz. Primarily I was doing lights, background music, and sets; and therefore getting praised for my work in college plays was like an achievement for a small-town boy who stepped his foot in the terrene of entertainment.

Throughout your professional journey, what kind of challenges have you faced?

Being an actor, writer, and director, I have gone through a lot of challenges and my biggest hardship was to crack the first movie that I have directed with a minimal budget. With changing lifestyles and technology, it’s challenging to make the audience stay with the stories and characters.

What do you think about making thrilling Horror Movies in Marathi?

Our culture is more curved towards plays and theatre as compared to movies and despite being a profitable genre, horror movies are among the highest-risk group with a budget that is expensive to work with. The elements and effects required in making a horror movie are sky-high which makes it unsustainable to craft a movie within a desired budget.

Versatile Personas to Watch April2021

Art of Versatility

“Jack of all trades or master of one,” this classic statement is most relevant in today’s world of business whether it’s corporate companies or showbiz. Some might argue that expertise or being ‘master of one’ is rather essential and no doubt it is. However, in today’s business settings what thrives and attracts the limelight is versatility.

The zest to keep learning, openness to take on challenges on diverse platforms, and flexibility to adapt to the changes are the key to survive amidst daunting stress and fear of failure. Versatility is often connected with artists and the need and zeal of inculcating and performing diverse roles on different platforms.

Mastering the art of versatility

#1 Cross-platform performance

Employers often introduce cross-training platforms to ensure employees have adequate knowledge about other operations and skillsets. So, when the need comes employees can fill in another’s place or give a helping hand to ensure smoother operations on the floor.

Step out of your job role when needed and take the initiative to do jobs outside your normal roles. This will help you develop and depict versatility at work.

#2 Going beyond the comfort zone

No matter in which field you work there comes a time when some challenges at the workplace encourage you to leave your comfort zone. In today’s fast-paced environment, the need to adopt new technology, techniques, and training to survive the stress and thrive in the competition becomes necessary and thus extending your comfort zone becomes essential.

#3 Adapting the change

“Change is the only constant,” Greek philosopher Heraclitus had said. Whether it’s to survive in the world or thrive in a career one has to be flexible in approach and adaptable towards change in time, technology, or turn to play a different role in your career.
