Manish Wadhwa is being noticed for his realistic portrayal of Balaji Vishwanath in the historical Peshwa Bajirao. The actor even had to shed a few kilos to get into the skin of his character. Manish confirms. “I had to look young and tough at the same time, so I had to lose weight. The character goes through a wonderful journey. Luckily, the hard work has paid off.”
The actor is joined by Anuja Sathe on the show. Manish cannot stop gushing about his co-star. “She is a wonderful co-actor. She can also speak Marathi, and has dabbled in Marathi theatre. This gives us a lot of common ground to connect, and has helped boost our chemistry,” he admits.
The actor has been maintaining a bald look since last six years, and will be sporting a similar look on the show. Talking about his look, he says, “I have had this look for a long time. Incidentally, a lot of shows require me to have this bald look. But this isn’t permanent. The moment I get a different role, I will change my look.”
