Career

During his early career, Ravindra Mahajani had humble beginnings as a taxi driver while simultaneously pursuing his passion for acting. His dedication led him to audition for various film roles, and he eventually ventured into creating Marathi films until around 1987-1988.

Notably, Mahajani earned the moniker “the Vinod Khanna of the Marathi film industry” owing to his striking personality and resemblance to the famous Bollywood actor Vinod Khanna. Director N. Chandra was so impressed by this similarity that he approached Mahajani to star in his 1986 film “Ankush,” but Mahajani politely declined the offer.

Throughout his career, Mahajani left an indelible mark in the hearts of the audience with his appearances in several romantic songs, including the beloved tracks “Ha Sagar Kinara,” “Sumbaran Gao Deva,” and “Phite Andharache Jaale.” Among his films, “Devta” garnered popularity and found a special place among rural fans.

Some of his notable roles in Marathi cinema include performances in films like “Duniya Kari Salam” (1979), “Mumbai cha Fauzdar” (1984), “Zoonj” (1989), “Kalat Nakalat” (1990), and “Aaram haram Ahe.” “Aaram haram Ahe” turned out to be a major hit, while “Laxmi Chi Pavale” achieved blockbuster success.

After a brief hiatus, Mahajani made a triumphant return to the silver screen with the 2015 film “Kay Rao Tumhi,” further solidifying his legacy in the Marathi film industry.
