Chavan works in the Marathi entertainment industry, which is centred in Maharashtra and headquartered largely in Mumbai. The industry comprises Marathi-language theatre, cinema and television serials broadcast on regional satellite channels.
Chavan has appeared in Marathi productions as a screen actor. The Marathi television and film sector has expanded considerably since the 2000s, with channels such as Zee Marathi, Star Pravah, Colors Marathi and Sony Marathi providing regular work for actors in long-running serials, while a parallel stream of Marathi feature films continues to be produced for theatrical release.
As a working actor in Marathi-language media, Chavan is part of a regional film and television tradition that traces its roots to the pioneering work of Dadasaheb Phalke, whose 1913 film Raja Harishchandra is regarded as the first Indian feature film, and to the long history of Marathi stage drama.
