Cinemaazi remembers Baburao Pendharkar on his death anniversary
8 Nov 1967
A pioneer actor in Marathi cinema in its nascent days, Baburao Pendharkar’s entry into acting was by accident. He was working as a production manager in Baburao Painter’s Maharashtra Film Company in 1919 when he was roped in to play Lord Krishna in Sairandhari (1920) – by sheer accident as the actor who was supposed to play the role did not turn up! Thus, began his career as an actor.
