His latest directorial, a biopic on Purushottam Laxman Deshpande aka Pu La Deshpande, titled 'Bhai: Vyakti Ki Valli' has been garnering an overwhelming response from both critics and the audience.
The Mahesh Manjrekar's directorial 'Bhai: Vyakti Ki Valli' that featured 70 characters, released on 8 February.
