Shreyas Talpade, one of the finest actors of the Hindi and Marathi film industry made a sweet gesture of paying the modern day equivalent of 'gurudakshina' to his mentor Mukesh Jadhav, when he agreed to play the lead role in his upcoming movie ''Parchaee'', which is a sensitive exploration of the darker aspects of female desire, where a woman’s passionate essence is warped by her jealously. It is beautiful yet a tragic portrait of a woman who is determined to claim her rights, but ends up creating her own entrapment. Talpade has known Mukesh since his college days who was his dramatics teacher. In those days, he was the first one to enlighten him about the acting industry and helped him to sculpt his acting skills.
Apparently, Talpade without any hesitation said yes for the movie, honouring his mentor, Jadhav. Nice way to pay respect to your guru!
