Mumbai: Actor Sharad Kelkar is all set to make his debut as a producer with a Marathi film titled Idak.
"I've always been in love with good storytelling. The idea behind becoming a producer is to come up with impactful stories, have an efficient team to paint them well and support them and the projects with adequate infrastructure. I've always been one who values regional cinema, and making a Marathi film for my debut as a producer is like going back to my roots," Sharad shared.
Directed by Deepak Gawade, Idak revolves around a 32-year-old man, Namya, who goes on a pilgrimage and is asked by his mother to sacrifice a goat.
It features Sandeep Phatak and Usha Naik in the leading roles.

On the work front, Sharad will next be seen in the Akshay Kumar-starrer Laxmmi Bomb and the Ajay Devgn-starrer Bhuj: The Pride Of India.
Sharing his equation with lead actors, Sharad said: "Working with all the actors in both the films it feels nice because I worked with them earlier also. Mr. Dutt and I have major sequences in Bhuj: The Pride Of India. I worked with him in Bhoomi, there is great chemistry between us... He treats as his younger brother."
"With Ajay sir it feels like family and the Akshay sir I worked with him in Housefull 4. If you work with people whom you know or worked with before then you are more comfortable with them and because I am much younger than them they treat me very nicely. They have been very kind with me," he told.
