achin Khedekar, who played the role of Home Minister Shivshanakar in the recently released film Shadow, is popular on small, as well as silver screen for the last 25 years. Rang Rasiya, Jaan Ki Baaji, Jor Laga ke Haiyya, Ek- Power of One, are some such films which show the creative side of Sachin.

Sachin started his career with Imtihaan serial and then graduated on to silver screen with Astitva, where he made his mark doing a negative role in his very first film.

Though he is equally busy in theatre as well as films, Sachin loves doing theatres. Acting has become his second nature, as he has been acting since his childhood in Marathi and Hindi theatres and hardly any retakes are needed while he shoots for his films.

Born at VilleParle in Mumbai, Sachin joined the theatre group of famous actor-director VInay Apte. This evergreen actor is now busy shooting for ROKKK being produced under the banner of Ikon Films by Krishna Chaudhary, Sumit Sahgal, and, Vipin Jain.

The film ROKKK is being shot at Future Studio of Mumbai. We had a small chat with him on the sets where he was shooting with much talked about actress Tanushri Dutta. Presented here are the excerpts from the interview:

Let us start with your role in the film ROKK.
I am doing the role of Ravi Malhotra, a simple straightforward youth. Anushka (Tanushri) is my wife and Nishi (Preeti Sharma) is my sister. Udita Goswami is playing the role of my sister-in-law (saali) and Shaad Randhawa is playing her boyfriend.

And something about today's shoots?
It is my marriage anniversary celebrated in a Bungalow I am presenting to my wife on this anniversary. Party is due tonight and the preparation is going on.

What is special in this film?
I can't give you the details. You will have to ask Rajesh Ransinghe. As this is a horror and suspense thriller nothing should be divulged ahead of the release.

But coming to my role, my wife feels that something strange is happening with her since she came here. We have got many rituals performed by exorcists before we are shifting here. My wife is scared, and so am I.

It appears that some magical power wants to disturb us. So we are moving around in the house scared inside.

Have you ever felt such incidents in your real life?
No, I don' believe in these superstitions. But even today we had a strange experience here on the sets. Everything was arranged, Rangoli and all, for today's shooting and director and producer left yesterday after everything was properly locked.

But when we arrived today everything was dispersed. What to say about this? Some say that it is due to the scene shot yesterday to exorcize the ghost. Only God knows more.

Director Rajesh Ransinghe belongs to small screen. Were you in tune with him from there?
We are known to each other for years, but have-not got the chance to work together. This film has given that chance for us to work together.

It is also my first opportunity to work with Krishna Chaudhary, Sumeet Sehgal, and Vipin Jain of Ikkon Films. Sumeet Sehgal is an established artist, so he knows the job; Krishna Chaudhary is also a known personality. He has made Bhoot Uncle and Right yaaa Wrong earlier.

What is your attitude towards acting?
I don't think acting is by birth or by training. Acting improves with practice. Much you work, much you learn. I am a Marathi and I learnt Hindi the hard way, and I am still learning. I read Hindi newspapers loudly, so that I can deliver my dialogues effectively.

You are on both the screens, small as well as silver. Which one is more important?
I started with small screen and earned my recognition from there. Now, I am working more for the silver screen. The difference I felt is that one looks smaller on TV, while big on cinema screen. People forget you once the serial become old in memory, while they remember cinema personalities longer.

How do you bring variations in your roles?
I always want to do roles with a difference. When they become similar I move to theatre where a new Sachin grows with a new energy. For example, my upcoming film is Ek Thi Raani, which is based on the life of Vijaya Raje Scindhia and I am doing the role of Sardar Angre. Another film Ravan by Maniratnam has me in a govt. Officer role.
