New Delhi: Actor Shreyas Talpade proved his mettle right from his early days in Bollywood. One of his initial films ‘Welcome to Sajjanpur' was well-appreciated by the audience. Directed by ace filmmaker Shyam Benegal in 2008, the satirical comedy marked his return to the genre after filming ‘Charandas Chor in 1975.' Recalling the memories of working in the film, Shreyas told IANS: " ‘Welcome to Sajjanpur' is one of my personal favourite. I had a great time shooting for the film. We were in Hyderabad shooting for 30 days." Shreyas played the role of a professional letter writer for the uneducated people of his village, as he wanted to become a novel writer. Shyam Benegal beautifully weaved his art of storytelling in the plot of the film.
