Interesting! This is why Rajpal Yadav stayed away from web series

MUMBAI: Gifted actor Rajpal Yadav, who is known for his impeccable comic timing, recently gave two back to back amazing performances in films 'Bhool Bhulaiya 2' and 'Ardh'. While his character 'Ardh' was more grounded and serious, Rajpal was seen in his usual funny avatar in Kartik Aaryan starrer 'Bhool Bhulaiya 2'. Rajpal has been away from the OTT screens for a while now. He recently spoke about why he was away from OTT for so long.

For the unversed, Ardh is one exception where Yadav has agreed to be part of a film that releases on the OTT platforms. He’s gradually moving towards that route but has one condition before signing those projects.

Rajpal Yadav revealed, “People should be able to watch it with their family. This is the reason I was away from OTT for five years now, and couldn’t be a part of anything. Main OTT ki bauhaut izzat karta hoon. Kala jitni bikharti hai, utni nikharti hai. 70mm aur TV ke beech mein ek yeh concept aaya, lekin usme bhi do raaste hain. Either you can sit alone to watch it, or view it with your entire family.”

Although the actor found success in negative roles, he preferred comic roles. His films include Hungama, Waqt: The Race Against Time, Chup Chup Ke, Garam Masala, Phir Hera Pheri, and Dhol.

He has also been the leading character in more serious films including Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon, Ladies Tailor, Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama, Hello! Hum Lallan Bol Rahe Hain, Kushti, Mirch, Benny and Babloo, and Main, Meri Patni Aur Woh.
