The superhit Marathi TV serial ‘Raja Shiv Chhatrapati’ is being re-telecast on Star Pravah from Monday to Saturday at 9.30 pm, retelling the story of the great Maratha warrior. Produced by Nitin Chandrakant Desai and directed by Hemant Deodhar, the serial based on life and times of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of Maratha empire, is now set to create new history. Dr. Amol Kolhe, a film, theatre and TV personality, playing the role of the Maratha warrior in 'Raja Shiv Chhatrapati', had a candid conversation with Afternoon D&C.

Excerpts: 'Raja Shiv Chhatrapati' is being re-telecast nearly after 8 years. How do you feel? It makes me nostalgic. In fact, it laid the foundation of my career and gave me recognition. But I feel that the new horizon is inviting me and this is the right time to strike with the talent, gained with experience, because history does not evolve automatically and one has to create it with courage.

You have also acted in TV serial 'Veer Shivaji' and a film 'Rajmata Jijau'. Your face resembles Chhatrapati Shivaji. What is the secret? (Laughs) The credit must be given to my parents and then certainly to the make-up artist Suhas Gawte for making me look so close to Maharaj. I also feel that if you portray a character with total conviction, looks are taken care of, since after all TV is a 'make believe' medium.

Have you done any special research on the Maratha warrior? I had to work on physical, psychological and intellectual aspects, which included physique, to pick up skills like horse riding, sword fighting etc. To understand the point of view of historians and writers, I read all possible literature on Shivaji. I always kept in mind that I am only an actor playing an iconic character and I should not get carried away by the persona of the character. Would you like to portray Chhatrapati Shivaji’s role in serials in other languages too? Certainly. I would love to portray Maharaj in other languages as well.

The people should know, the glorious history of Shivaji, his management skills, his generosity. He was the only king, who although not born a king, became king with sheer courage and never betrayed anyone.

Raja ShivChhatrapati: TV serial on Star Pravah. The role of Raja Shivaji is played by Dr. Veer Shivaji: a Hindi TV series on Colors TV channel, the role of Shivaji is played by Paras Arora.

I also feel that a Hollywood film or at least a big budget Bollywood film should be made on Shivaji. Also, a show on national television can help inspire the younger generation. What are your forthcoming ventures? I am planning a theatre show on the life history of 'Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj'. It will be a political drama. A Bollywood film is also in the pipeline.

Have you visited important forts including Raigad and Shivneri? I am from Narayangaon in Pune district and in my childhood I visited 'Shivneri fort' (the birthplace of Shivaji) umpteen number of times. I was also fortunate to portray Chhatrapati Shivaji in Raigad festival held at Raigad fort some time back. I have visited many forts during my school days and now I am also associated with 'Durg Sanvardhak Mahasangh', an organisation working for conservation of forts.
