Maharashtra Women's Commission chairperson Rupali Chakankar's son Soham Chakankar is set to make his acting debut in the upcoming Marathi movie Tu Ani Me, Me Ani Tu (2022). The romantic drama will be directed by first-time filmmaker Kapil Jondhale.
Speaking about his acting debut, Soham Chakankar said, "First of all, I would like to thank director Kapil Jondhale for the encouragement he gave me. My team was so supportive when I came to shoot for the first time that I never realized I was new to the field. I learnt a lot from Kapil Jondhale's workshops and the guidance he gave me, and my interest in acting grew. I want to achieve a lot and will work hard."
The film is produced by Sagar Jain, Raju Todsam, Rushabh Kothari and Kanchan Adkatalwar under the Jain Films Production banner. The makers have kept details about the rest of the cast and crew under wraps.
Rupali Chakankar, former state president of the women’s wing of the Nationalist Congress Party, said she was surprised to learn about her son's decision to enter the film industry. "It is great news. I am very happy to see that Soham is working in a different field. Our best wishes and blessings are always with Soham, and hopefully he will make a name for himself in his chosen field."
