    Well I did get the privilege of watching the play thrice in a row. Watched it at the Munshi Shield, IPTA & then again the show at Prithvi theatre. Latesh is undoubtedly brilliant. He is a natural. His body language, gestures, delivery everything was just perfect...Even his face contortions, his walk & every small detail that he brought out into his character was amazing..

    Infact for most of the first half of the play, he hardly has any dialogues. But the way he has emoted even through his silence in those scenes speaks a lot about his calibre as an actor. He reminds me a lot of Dilip Prabhavalkar (Gandhi in MBBS). And yes, as I have watched the play thrice, I can say that with every next performance, he was only getting better & better! Latesh, I hope you reach great heights & get all the success that you deserve.

    Of course! It was a tremendous performance. I had the privilege of watching his performance of 'Muktidham" at Bhavan's Auditorium. Other than acting he is also a nice boy. I know him since last 10 years as I am one of the actor of Kala Jagatthu

    Latesh, no doubt is really really a FANTASTIC actor. But he is also a very kind and humble person. He has a very good sense of humour, . I wish from the very bottom of my heart that all his wishes will definitely come true because he works very hard for it. As Diwali is nearby, I would like to wish Him and His Parents "A VERY HAPPY AND A PROSPEROUS DIWALI AND A NEW YEAR".
