Hrishikesh Mukerjee fondly called him Sachubaba and he used to regard him as guru. Sachin Pilgaonkar has come a long way playing a simple village boy in Nadiya Ke Paar to directing successful serials like Tu tu Main Main. Now, the actor plays Babban’s younger brother in Sholay’s remake Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag.
What made you say yes to Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag?
I wasn’t very convinced but he said there were certain reasons for choosing me. First, the film is different and my character has been introduced. Second, Ramu felt that only I could play Amitabh Bachchan’s younger brother.. Satte Pe Satta had a huge influence on him.
Did you feel nostalgic while doing the film?
I have a small role.. but yes, it was nostalgic. We were working together after almost 25 years.. this is our first film after Trishul. We had a good time on the sets.
Any similarities in the character you played then.. and now?
I was just 15 years old when I did Sholay.. The only similarity is that I died in that film.. I’ll die in this too.
