Background

Born in Mumbai, Dilip Prabhavalkar obtained bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Ramnarain Ruia College, Matunga. He gained his master's degree in Biophysics and a diploma from the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, before working for Unichem Laboratories Limited, a pharmaceutical company and as a partner in a video production unit. During this period, he performed as an actor in several children's and experimental plays staged at Chhabildas.

Acting

His first major performance was in Lobh Nasava Hi Vinanti a play written by Vijay Tendulkar and directed by Arvind Deshpande. In 1991, he decided to choose acting as a career.

In children's and amateur theatre, Prabhavalkar was associated with Ratnakar Matkari's group and performed in all the plays staged by the troupe. His performances of a simpleton in Prem Kahani and Vidur in Aranyak — a play based on the Mahabharat — were awarded prizes at the Maharashtra State Drama Festival.

He played Chimanrao in the television serial Chimanrao Gundyabhau based on a series of short stories by C.V. Joshi. He recreated the Chimanrao character in his play Hasva Phasvi.

Dilip Prabhavalkar starred in a Bollywood movie Encounter: The Killing as an old gangster, Punappa Avade in 2002. He portrayed Mahatma Gandhi in 2006's Lage Raho Munna Bhai. He reprised his role in the Telugu remake called Shankar Dada Zindabad.

From the experimental stage, Prabhavalkar very easily moved to the professional stage in 1976, and since then has acted in plays from slapstick to light comedy, family drama and melodrama, to serious discussion plays dealing with contemporary issues.

He acted in a Marathi TV serial Shriyut Gangadhar Tipare, in which he portrayed an elderly member of a middle class Indian family. The serial covered social issues faced by common man in day-to-day life.
