Premanand Sangodkar

Premanand M. Sangodkar (born Premananda Madco Sangoldacar; 16 April 1941) is an Indian former actor, director, playwright, and All India Radio artiste[1] known for his work on the Konkani stage.

[2] Sangodkar's artistic career took shape through his active involvement in numerous Marathi nattaks, theatrical performances organized by Natekar in the village of Marcel.

Ultimately, Boyer enlisted Tatoba and Alka Velingkar, a couple, for the lead roles, alongside Uday Bhembre and Ulhas Buyao, who were also cast members representing the Hindu family.

[2] Boyer, a discerning director, made a deliberate choice to observe the rehearsals of a Konkani play presented by the Konknni Bhasha Mandal at Damodar Vidya Bhavan in Margao.

Shalini Mardolkar was selected to portray the counterpart to Sangodkar, and after a three-day preparation period, the inaugural performance was scheduled to be held at St. Mary's Hall in Mazgaon.

Owing to pre-existing business obligations, Sangodkar was unable to travel alongside the Goan artists, prompting Boyer to make special arrangements for a private cab.

As Sangodkar initiated the practice of incorporating his own input into the tiatr, Boyer instructed his prompter to take note of the additional material integrated into the original dialogues.

However, he observes that modern tiatrs often prioritize disconnected jokes over cohesive storytelling, and lack the same attention to authentic character portrayal in terms of dress code.
