‘12AM’ was the last time people saw Kashinath on the silver screen. The audiences have since then never had the pleasure of enjoying the actor-director’s performance. The long wait has finally ended and he is making a comeback into Sandalwood!
Such comeback has been made possible by director Prashant Raj. As Prashant told the media, he is glad to have Kashinath onboard. It wasn’t easy to convince Kashinath how much caliber he possesses. The director is feeling good about signing a top star. Kashinath is re-entering Sandalwood with Prashant Raj’s upcoming flick ‘Zoom’. The director also said that the veteran actor was eager about making sure that the script of the movie was such that it demanded his presence. He is one person who does not make movies just for money. Also, he never does a favor to someone by acting in a movie. Prashant took a long time in explaining the entire story to Kashinath. The actor also wanted to ascertain that he would justify the role. Also, he is already started with the filming. His role is a very interesting one and the name is equally amusing- Dhoomaketu, meaning a comet. He plays an absent minded scientist who has been banished from India because one of his experiments went wrong. The scientist continues his research after settling abroad, but wants to return to his homeland India. He then meets a man- played by Ganesh. This particular character helps him. Other than Kashinath and Ganesh, another lead character in the movie is played by Radhika Pandit.
Prashant Raj further admitted that ‘Zoom’ is the grandest movie of his career. He has therefore, carefully worked on every single detail and put in the best possible effort in each aspect of the film. It took a time of 15 days for Kashinath to adjust to his looks. As for Ganesh, the director had to organize a 50 days style workshop.
