IMHO he would have had a far more varied body of work if he had not tied himself so closely to BJ (there may be personal reasons for this, which I am not aware of).
So in your opinion, Charlie Chaplin, Will Ferrel, Rowan Atkinson, Jim Carrey, Lakshamikant Berde's acting is also nothing but antics ? Everybody has their own mannerisms, that is what differentiates them from other actors.
I have not come across any of Jadhav's interviews where he has said that he is a star. And if he has called himself a star there is nothing wrong in it for he was at a point in time.
Kedar Shinde's logic for getting Bharat Jadhav in many of his films is quite simple and most people will undrstand it, barring a few. He picks his cast according to the topic of the play/movie/TV show.
Whenever their is a comic role he has cast Jadhav in it (though Jadhav is more than competent in serious roles too as he has shown in Ringa Ringa and Mukkam Post London) because at that point in time and even today there is no better actor to do a comic role than Jadhav barring Ashok Saraf but the two are in different age groups.
However, Kedar Shinde has avoided casting him in Romantic roles like that of Yanda Kartavya Ahe.
Jadhav is mostly a stage and movie actor and has done only two TV shows, again both of them comedy shows.
The fact that Shinde has not cast Jadhav in some of his hit serials indicate that your claims are inaccurate.
