The same play is once again being brought on stage by Prasad Kambli with new star cast. It will also have a touch of modern technology. This time the play is directed by Ganesh Pandit who has got huge recognition for his recently directed play ‘Balak-Palak’.
He has also written a script for a movie ‘Yellow’. A famous comedy duo, Sagar Karande and Bharat Ganeshpure, are in lead roles. A grand rehearsal of the play will take place on Saturday.
Nashik’s Anita Datey, who started her acting career from Nashik through various plays and settled in Mumbai as a movie star, is playing lead role in ‘Halke-Fulke’. Earlier she has acted in ‘Aga Bai’, ‘Kamalach Zali’, ‘Ye Bhau, Doke Nako Khau’, ‘Mahasagar’, ‘Une Pune Shahar’ and other commercial plays.
