Noted film maker and father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke was born here.
Phalke seated on a chair with a small roll of film in his hands.
Phalke's second brother,
Raghunathrao, also worked as priest and died at a young age of 21.
The first silent movie of Bollywood, Raja Harishchandra, was made in 1913,
which was created by Dada Phalke.
But Phalke knew that he was making his film for the general public,
so this movie was a huge hit.
Besides Nirantar and Phalke, he worked with G.V. Sane(who acted with Salunke in Raja Harishchandra)
and Ganpat G. Shinde(co-starred with Salunke in Lanka Dahan) as directors.
Her big break came in 2009
when she played the historical role of Saraswati Phalke, wife of the father of Indian cinema Dadasaheb Phalke,
in the film Harishchandrachi Factory.
Veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan will be
felicitated with a Lifetime Achievement honour at the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Foundation Awards for his contribution as a producer,
director, screenwriter, editor and actor in Hindi films.
The father of Indian cinema, Dadasaheb Phalke, had to settle for a man to play the female
lead in Raja Harishchandra in 1913 because no woman from any strata of society was prepared to work in such a lowly profession.
