Actress Tejashree Pradhan who recently tied the knot with her 'Honar Sun Mi Ya Gharchi' co-star Shashank Ketkar, will be seen in the role of a young Mandakini Amte in Samruddhi Porey's 'Dr Prakash Baba Amte-The Real Hero'.
When asked about the choice, Samruddhi said, "Sonali Kulkarni is playing the lead role hence while casting for young Mandakini Amte we were looking for an actress who would look a bit like Sonali. It was during that time that my associate director who was working on Tejashree's show 'Lek Ladki Hya Gharchi' got in touch with her for this film. She called me and expressed her interest in doing the role. After auditioning for it, we got her on board."
The filmmaker was also surprised by the apparent similarities in the looks of Tejashree and the young Mandakini Amte. She said, "Tejashree bears a striking resemblance with Mandakini tai of the younger days. Manda tai said so herself."
With Tejashree on board, Samruddhi feels the film will benefit largely. "We already had a class audience with Sonali Kulkarni and Nana Patekar and now with Tejashree's association with the project, there will be a further addition to the number," said she.
