Did you know Sharad Kelkar only took Rs 101 as acting fee for role in Rajkummar Rao-led Srikanth? Here’s why

Sharad Kelkar has captivated audiences with his acting skills for many years. Recently, the actor appeared in the biographical film Srikanth, which stars Rajkummar Rao and is directed by Tushar Hiranandani. For this role, Kelkar accepted a fee of just Rs 101. Recently, he explained the reason behind this decision. Sharad mentioned that Tushar did not have the budget to meet his usual fee, so he decided it was more reasonable not to demand a high payment from him.

Additionally, Sharad Kelkar mentioned that Tushar Hiranandani is an old friend of his. Sharad remembered how Tushar had candidly informed him that he would have paid the full amount if he had the funds. In response, Sharad assured Tushar that he didn’t need to pay him anything. He told Tushar that he would participate in the film for the sake of their friendship and to support the story, which he believed deserved to reach the audience.

Sharad Kelkar also emphasized that, when it comes to films, the most crucial element in any artist’s career is the writer, who creates and develops the story. He shared that he was greatly impressed by the story Tushar Hiranandani presented. Sharad mentioned that the film is based on a true story and that his role is that of Ravi Mantha. He described his character as fascinating and noted that he never expected a director would offer him such a part. Sharad pointed out that casting in the industry often relies on stereotypes, with tall actors typically being cast as villains or police officers.

Sharad Kelkar has a strong belief in his destiny and admitted that he never anticipated becoming an actor. He remembered that he used to stutter and felt that someone who fumbles would have limited opportunities in acting. Sharad pursued a degree in Master of Business Administration (MBA) and had initially planned to explore 3-4 different career paths. Despite this, he has ultimately become one of the most sought-after actors in the industry.

The actor has appeared in some of the classic films like Ram Leela, Rocky Handsome, Laxmii, Bhuj, and many more. He will be next seen in Sky Force.

Sabrina Carpenter Lands in the Middle of Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift Fans Debate; Here’s How

It is clearly Sabrina Carpenter’s year and we are living in it. Sabrina is ruling the chartbusters with back-to-back hit singles and a release of her album Short n Sweet. However, amid all these, millennial stars like Taylor Swift and Kanye West still hold their place with their legacy and their massive rivalry remains one of their career’s biggest highlights. Now, Sabrina’s latest album release in a digital version has brought in a new wave of debate between Swifties and Ye’s fans.  

Sabrina’s recent music video Taste with Jenna Ortega has stirred up the internet because of the ‘gay’ perspective of the theme. However, she has released a digital version of ‘Short n Sweet’ along with a bonus track, Needless to Say for $5. The digital version has been launched in her official website store and the track can be accessed and is available to download within 24 hours.

Now, instead of talking about Sabrina Carpenter’s move, people are busy detecting whether she followed Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poet’s Department or Kanye West’s Life of Pablo. Swifties and Ye’s fans have come at loggerheads to figure out who inspired the Espresso singer to take this step. The fandoms have taken X (formerly Twitter) to storm to declare who influenced the blonde beauty. 

One of the Taylor fans commented that because Sabrina has been under Swift’s wings for too long, it was she who inspired Carpenter. Another wrote, “Taymother taught her well,” referring to Taylor Swift’s genius brain pulling off all the marketing strategies behind her albums. Sabrina Carpenter has a very special bond with the Lover singer. She has been opening for Swift’s concerts for a long time. Taylor has also been very fond of Carpenter. She has often talked about her and praised her projects.

However, Ye’s fans didn’t wait too long to jump on this debate. One wrote, “Yeezy Set The Trend B*tch.” Anyway, amid all these, what’s happening is that Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Short n Sweet’ is getting all kinds of attention. While a large audience is praising her tracks, some brought in controversy. But nevertheless, it is creating the hype it deserves.

Sabrina Carpenter has dethroned herself twice with her songs on Spotify. She reached a level with Espresso but turned it down with Please Please Please starring Barry Keoghan. Now, it’s time for some Taste with Jenna Ortega.

Well, we think this debate is kind of baseless because if someone has influenced Sabrina to make a digital version of her album, it has to be Taylor Swift than anyone else given their bond. And she has been more acquainted with Swift than the rapper. What do you think about it? Have you heard the songs fron ‘Short n Sweet’? Let us know your opinion regarding the debate.
