Cinemaazi remembers Dixit on his birth anniversary

Manohar Janardhan Dixit, famously known as Dixit gave up school after two attempts at matriculation examination. His interest in Marathi litterateur Mama Warerkar led into a job as an assistant cameraman in Navjivan Studio. The shift from behind the scenes to being in front of the camera happened when someone tried him out in the role of a Nawab. While that didn’t work out, he finally began his journey as an actor in 1930 in Sparkling Youth alongside Jairaj and Madhav Kale.
