Bharat Ganeshpure turns drag queen

Generally, it is his '

Chala Hawa Yeu Dya

' co-star Sagar Karande who dons the

female avatar

onscreen, but for the upcoming Marathi film '

Jalsa

', Bharat Ganeshpure has gone full drag.

Though he’s sported the female look a couple of times during his stint on the comedy show 'Fu Bai Fu', this is the first time that Bharat is doing so on the big screen. “It is a very interesting character. I play the lead actor’s maternal uncle, who owns a theatre company in a village. He’s someone who thinks that no one else can do the role of a woman better than himself,” informs Bharat.


Though he’s widely known for his comic timing, Bharat has pulled of negative role with equal perfection. Ask him what’s more challenging and replies, “I can’t really differentiate. On TV comedy is what I am known for but while doing a feature film, I try and look for something other than comic roles.”
