New Delhi:
After Akshay Kumar shared the first look of his new project Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat, in which he stars as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a section of the Internet was visibly upset and suggested that TV actor Sharad Kelkar could have been a better pick for the role. Sharad Kelkar started trending on Twitter big time. The many tweets suggesting Sharad’s name could be attributed to his impressive performance in the 2020 period drama Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, in which he played the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Meanwhile, the period drama Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat marks Akshay Kumar’s Marathi film debut.
Here’s Akshay Kumar’s first look as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj from the film Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat.
“Sharad Kelkar looked best in the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji,” read a tweet from a fan.
