Shashank Ketkar shares about his choice to be in a bilingual movie, his appreciation for director Omkar Shetty and his wish for the Marathi movie industry.

Shashank Ketkar is an Indian actor who mostly works in the Marathi industry. He becomes popular after his role as Shee in the popular daily soap 'Honar Sun Me Hya Gharchi'. As his career is getting better and better with positive reactions from the fans, Shashank feels extremely happy. After '31 Divas', his upcoming project is a movie called 'Aaron'.
