Kelkar made a very good transition to films with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela - Goliyon Ki Rasleela where he played the possessive elder brother.

In the past few years, he has been doing movies in Hindi, Marathi and South Indian languages. He made his Tamil debut with Ayalaan that had Sivakarthikeyan in the lead. But what made his really famous was his dubbing skills. He is the voice of Prabhas in the Hindi version of his movies.

One of the most hyped movies of 2023, it tanked badly and was widely criticized throughout the country. From the actors to filmmakers and writers, everyone faced severe backlash. Accident or Conspiracy–Godhra: Sharad Kelkar Voices Film on 2002 Gujarat Riots; Ranvir Shorey-Starrer Set to Release on July 12 (Watch Video).

‘Salaar’

The macho star did a stellar work in Salaar as well. Sharad Kelkar said he understood what Prashanth Neel had in his mind about Deva/Salaar.

He said he wanted to be at par with the madness of the Tollywood star as the character.
