He got his first break into films through the film "Sambha — Ajcha Chava" by director Mr. Sanjay Todkar and thus marked his first entry into the world of Marathi films, where his performance and name reached to a larger audience, further stabilising his presence in the acting arena.

Personal

Devendra is Kolhapur City-based Marathi actor-filmmaker Devendra Chougule, who is seen in the sci-fi Marathi film, Welcome To Jungle, says that more opportunities should be given to talent from Kolhapur according to him

"It's a city that has given many gems to the film industry. The youth here is very talented. But people lack a proper platform. The city used to have two studios but they don't exist now. Thus the basic requirements for shooting a film cannot be met and hence we have to travel to Pune or Mumbai for the editing and post-production process. I wish some effort is taken by the city administration to put up a studio in Kolhapur which will then give a boost to the local talent," he says.

Devendra says that his passion for acting and films helps him experiment with projects. "Acting is my passion and hobby. Till my graduation, I was never into it. I was always drawn to acting but never dared to take it up nor did I get a proper platform to showcase my talent," he says. His first film Sambha- Aajcha Chava didn't do that well at the BO last year. "But at least we tried doing something different," he says, adding, "Even in Welcome To Jungle, we have endeavoured to give something new to the audiences. In fact, this conscious effort by filmmakers has resulted in innovative experiments in films."
