He was to become the chief cinematographer for Shantaram in his later films. Made under the Maharashtra Film Company, Kolhapur, it was the first film directed by Shantaram. The director of photography was S. Fattelal and the cast included Ansuya, Balasaheb Yadav, Ganpat Bakre and Zunzarrao Pawar. The film, based on the Maratha King Shivaji's Senapati (Commander-in-Chief) Netaji Palkar, and his struggle to save his kingdom, is cited to have made a great "impact" on Marathi Cinema. According to Garga, the commercial success of the film helped save the Maharashtra Film Company from facing bankruptcy. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
