Ganpat Patil, born in 1920, had a rough childhood due to the early death of his father.

He went through a tough time to arrange the marriage of his sons because of his acting (pansy) character in movies.

This attracted the attention of director Krishna Patil who offered him a similar role in Waghya Murali.

The movie script was specifically written with Ganpat in mind, and is about a Nachya in films who is not happy about his sexuality and decides to have it treated, after which he regains confidence and eventually lives a happily married life.

Apparently for this movie Ganpat Patil had to give up a Nachya role in V. Shantaram's film Pinjara.
