Makarand was interacting with the media at the launch of Mukkti Cultural Hub, initiated by Smita Thackeray here on Sunday. Talking about his role in "Sadak 2", Makarand said: "I am playing the character of a Godman in the film.

I can't reveal much about my character in the film but I can say that it's a very exciting role." "Sadak 2" is directed by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Mukesh Bhatt under their banner Vishesh Films.

Asked what he feels about her talent, Makarand said: "I don't think I have any right to comment on the acting capabilities of any actor but I can say that she has an incredible capacity to hold the screen with the close-ups or with the long shots, when she dances or when she doesn't dance, when she is quite or when she speaks. I think she is an excellent and evolving actress."

On Mukkti Cultural Hub, Makarand said: "I think it's an amazing initiative because I am a theatre artiste. I think we needed more theatres like Prithvi Theatre, so now this new theatre has added to that list."
