Bollywood actor Chunky Pandey is set to make his debut in Marathi films with Uttung Thakur's production Vikun Taak. Chunky, 57, was at the peak of his career in '90s with hits like Teezab, Vishwatma and Aankhen. He switched to comedy roles in 2000s and went on to star in Kya Kool Hai Hum and Housefull series.

"Doing a film in Marathi, and a socio-comedy genre at that, has always been on my wishlist. Marathi's humour cannot be compared. I just love the language. Being born in Mumbai, speaking Marathi has never been a problem because if Hindi is my mother tongue, Marathi is my father tongue," the actor said in a statement.
