EXCLUSIVE: Shriya Pilgaonkar on not doing a single Marathi film after her debut Ekulti Ek, “Haven’t resonated with the scrips that have come my way so far”

Currently, Shriya Pilgaonkar is one of the known actors of today’s era, especially on OTT. But she made her acting and big screen debut with the Marathi movie Ekulti Ek. The film was directed and produced by his father Sachin Pilgaonkar and it also starred Supriya Pilgaonkar. In fact, Shriya played their onscreen daughter Swara in the film. However, post this film, Shriya hasn’t done any Marathi movie yet.

During an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, when the actress was asked the reason for it, she said, “I love working in different languages. And language has never been a barrier for me because the passion for cinema transcends all boundaries and even languages. So, for me, the decision of working in projects has always been based on the story.”

Shriya added that she is still searching for the right script in Marathi. “So, if I get a film that I really like (I will do it). Up until now, the scripts that have come my way (in Marathi), I have not really resonated with them. This is why I am being patient. But aisa kuchh nahin hai. I am absolutely open to working in all languages,” she said.

Shriya added, “I have also done a Tamil/ Telugu film with Rana Daggubati called Haathi Mere Saathi. So, then there is no reason why I will not do a Marathi film. My priority is always the story and the character and what new I can do in it. So, that is how I make my decisions. I have a very open mind when it comes to being an actor. I have so many interests. I am also interested in direction.”

Shriya was recently seen in a song cameo in the Marathi movie Navra Maza Navsacha 2, which starred his parents.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
