GAJRAJ RAO (ACTOR)

Who would be the next director you want to work with?

Mira Nair – she is known for her documentaries and feature films that deal with difficult and often conflicted subject matter.

One actor from the younger generation you want to work with?

Undoubtedly, Nawazuddin Siddiqui!

Which character has been your best performance till date?

Nakul’s father, Jeetender Kaushik in Badhaai Ho.

Since you take keen interest in reading, which is your favourite book?

Manto’s Toba Tek Singh

If asked to replace one character across the realm of films and given a chance to act, who will you choose?

Paresh Rawal’s character from Hera Pheri – Baburao Ganpatrao Apte

What criterion do you look for while selecting a role?

The only criteria is a good script. I know its not possible to get a script like Badhaai Ho within three-four months. I’ll agree when I get another script that’s as amazing as this. If it’s not good enough, I won’t do it!

You have been a part of many web series as well as films. If asked to choose one career, what would it be?

(Laughs) That’s a tricky one. I think web series are richer in content and I would choose it!
