Over his disappearance from commercial cinema, he said, “I never aspired to become a star. And I used to get bored on filmsets, so I decided to do more theatre.”
Deshpande said his plays are “part fiction and part real life, my own life”.
“‘Maa in Transit’ is about a son losing his mother and coming to terms with the fact. It’s part reality, part fiction and that’s why people connect to it, they understand this,” Deshpande said.
