Raj Hanchanale: Sharing screen space with Chinmay sir was a ‘fan moment’ for me!

An actor often deeply admires another actor’s work, dedication, and discipline. Sometimes, that admiration turns into a true “fan moment”—when they get the opportunity to work alongside someone they look up to. Actor Raj Hanchanale experienced one such special moment on the sets of Sanai Choughade.

Actor Chinmay Mandlekar, who has won the audience’s hearts, has made a powerful entry in Sanai Choughade as ‘Satyajit’. His arrival is set to bring a new twist to the storyline. Currently, the plot shows Sharvari attending job interviews. By coincidence, the company where she goes for an interview belongs to Satyajit. At the same time, Jay Khanolkar arrives to meet Satyajit for a business deal, and this meeting brings a fresh turn to the narrative.

Through this track, Raj Hanchanale got the opportunity to work with Chinmay Mandlekar. Sharing his experience, he said, “Shooting with Chinmay sir was truly a very enriching and inspiring experience for me. I have always followed his work. He is one of my favourite actors, writers, and directors. This was my first time sharing screen space with him. Honestly, just standing in the same frame as such a legendary artist was a big deal for me. In a way, it was a complete ‘fan moment’. There was a bit of pressure, but also a lot of excitement. I learned a lot from him—especially his discipline towards work. The way he immerses himself into his character the moment he steps onto the set is truly inspiring. Watching him up close, I understood how effortless dialogue delivery and natural acting should be. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.”
