‘We need more films to show the sacrifice of freedom fighters’: Bhuj actor Sharad Kelkar

Actor Sharad Kelkar recently expressed his disappointment over not joining the Indian Army. Speaking about his film Bhuj: The Pride of India, Sharad said that more films should be made on historical events depicting the sacrifice of our freedom fighters. He believes that films like Bhuj: The Pride of India are eye-openers.

Bhuj: The Pride of India, starring Sharad Kelkar as army officer RK Nair, is based on the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, and is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.

Talking to a media house, Sharad said, “I am fortunate that I have got an opportunity to play the role of an army officer in this film. I feel the utmost need to make a film on our culture and remarkable historical events of India. So that the youth of our country can understand that our brave hearts were sacrificed during the freedom struggle.

“I wholeheartedly respect the officers in uniform, I had passed the defense combined exam but could not appear in the final interview. So because of all this, I was able to play the role of Ram Karan Nair.” Sharad added.

He further said that it is a matter of great pride for him that he worked with Ajay Devgan in three consecutive films. Working with Ajay, he felt at home as he is a great human being and an actor.

Says Sharad, “Ajay Productions had offered me this special role of Army Officer RK Nair, and I was delighted to have this sweet idea. Bhuj: The Pride of India will be telecast on Star Gold on Sunday 26th December at 8 PM, I hope people watch this historical story with their families.”

In 2020, Sharad was seen in Ajay Devgn starrer Tanhaji, and was highly praised by fans. Sharad has once again excelled by playing the role of an army officer in Bhuj: The Pride of India.
