Shankar Mahadevan has made his acting debut with a Marathi film, Katyar Kaljat Ghusali , but the music composer says when the makers approached him with the role he thought they were pulling a prank on him. Mahadevan, who is part of the famous composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, plays a musician in Subodh Bhave’s directorial debut, which is based on a play by the same name.
The 48-year-old National Award-winning singer says he overcame his initial hesitation about the film because he did not want to let go of such an interesting project.
