Yashpal Sharma could be a Haryanvi by origin but he has played characters from Hindi heartland for an enormous a part of his acting. Now the actor is all slated to essay a Marathi guy in an upcoming period film about karmic retribution. Ironically, the film's story revolves across the Bihar earthquake of 1934 and Mumbai's 26/11 of 2008!
Though the role was challenging, Yashpal says he tried to not give into cinematic stereotypes. `My character's name within the film is Sadashiv Apte and that is the primary time I'm playing a neighborhood guy. In the course of the making, I just tried my best to not be a victim of image.
I don't confine myself to a selected genre or didn't do only positive or comic roles. I AM NOT worried concerning the image similar to Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan and Manoj Bajpayee, who're all real actors,` says the National School of Drama graduate.
Having never played a Maharashtrian before at the big screen, Yashpal needed to prep himself to get the accent right. However, his theatre background came in handy. `I'm a theatre actor first so I just needed to prepare a bit.
I practiced and it made my dialogs perfect. You cannot say that i am someone from north India while you hear me deliver my dialogues with Marathi accent,` signs off Yashpal.
