Story so far :

Narsinha Killedar who is an ambitious n seasoned politician is still recovering from the grief of his wife’s loss . His wife had died quite recently leaving behind a teenage daughter. He aspires to be the Chief Minister in the upcoming elections. He is however warned by Bhavani Mai, a lady who can foresee n predict the future that he won’t live to see the elections. Narsinha gets mentally disturbed by this prediction. Thereupon a solution is proposed to avoid this calamity that requires Narsinha to marry an unmarried virgin, girl. Now Krushna aatya, his aunt is faced with a new dilemma of finding such a girl who will be ready to marry Narsinha at his age.

In the meantime, a villager leaves his young daughter Janaki at the hands of the Killedar family because of his financial problems. She seems to be the perfect candidate for Narsinha’s 2nd marriage in the eyes of Krushna aatya after her attempt to find a suitable girl for Narsinha failed at the first try.

Will Narsinha agree to this marriage? Will his daughter Amruta & the other family members accept her in place of his first wife…how the story unfolds from now on would be something to look forward to.

About Sunil's Character :

A seasoned politician, Narsinha Killedar is authoritative yet humble and responsible. This is the first time that Sunil is playing the character of an aged n dignified politician. His chocolate hero persona has made this role more challenging for him. However he has rendered the character with much finesse!

Story at a glance:

The Deshmukh family lives together in ‘Ashray' an old house in Mumbai. The patriarch of the family Anna (Sudhir Joshi) is an ex-freedom fighter and likes to write letters to the editor demanding a ban on nuclear weapons. His wife Mai (Prema Sakhardande) is a loving woman and is like a mother to her daughters-in-law. Their eldest son Prabhakar (Sanjay Mone) and his wife (Suhas Joshi) have three children - Prashant (Sunil Barve), Anand (Bharat Jadhav) and Alka. Their younger son Bal (Bal Karve) and his wife Shalini (Amita Khopkar) have two daughters -Latika and Kalika.

The family is close knit and bound together by values. However, minor differences do occur. One point of discussion in the house is whether they should sell the old house and make way for a tower where they can all be accommodated in separate flats. Living in a joint family the younger generation is always pampered and protected which they feel is a real obstacle in their growth process when facing the harsh realities of the outside world. Each has a unique mindset & are eager to explore the abundance of experiences outside their sheltered nest. But despite their idealogies how they stand by their family & each other in the times of crisis is the essence of the story.

The serial is written & directed by Pratima Kulkarni. One easily identifies with some or the other character of the Deshmukh family. The fun moments shared by the family members, the support they receive from each other & their unity in times of need is endearing to one & all!

About Sunil's Character :

Prashant Deshmukh is the eldest in the younger generation. He is intelligent & works for a finance company. Although fascinated by wealth & prestige symbols, he refrains from getting involved in a financial scam purely on the basis of his moral values. He values the ancestral property, but being practical he understands the necessity to have a new building in place of the old house as he realises the need for privacy n space.

'Prapancha' is currently being retelecast on Zee Marathi. For those of you who missed it earlier, you can watch Prapancha every Wed, Thurs & Fri at 10.30pm on Zee Marathi.
