Tall men attract notice almost instantaneously. Theyre supposed to be the idols of millions of swooning women and role models and makes men copy them!!!!!!
BUt wen 1 sees 4 feet 11 inched Rajpal Yadavs performances.........pple tend to forget everything.Be it a petrol pump worker(Road) or a potter(Shool)......... a cafe-boy (Mast) or an Astrologer(Mujhse Shaadi Kargi)........ Yadav has proved himself as an actor!
That one scene turned out to be the turning point in my career and my life when Ramuji felt that I had to be given more footage, remembers Yadav fondly.(talking abt his potter ka role in Shool).
- Mast, Jungle, Pyar Tune Kya Kiya, Road, Bhoot , CompanyKal Ho Na Ho, Aan, Chor Machaye Shor, Haasil .. his work got recog.
He became a household name after the Coke ad with Ash, where he acted as a coolie.(arre yaar. those lottery types.. Coke peeyo, sona jeeeto...... aisa hi kuch tha)
Yet again another film from the RGV factory, Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon directed by Chandan Arora starring with Antara Mali , that gave him a rare opportunity to shoulder the responsibility of an entire film.
with this film.. yadav was tagged one of the dependant actors of Bollywood.
Chandan Aroras faith in yadav provoked him to make another movie..Main, meri Patni aur Woh with another Hot bong babe , twice National Award winner, our very own... Bengals Rituparna Sengupta.The film had Yadav playing Mithilesh Shukla, a small town 34-year-old short-statured bachelor, who lives life as a librarian in a university with sincerity and self discipline. When he gets married to the beautiful and educated 5 feet 7 inches Veena (Rituparna Sengupta).......his life changes.
Be it Laxman in Waqt , Raja in Hungama or letter carrier in Paheli....his work was loved by all.
I specly loved his work in HUNGAMA.. thats my fav.Ill give u guys a little detail abt this particular scene.
Raja(Rajpal) was supposed to hide in a lodge hiding his identidy.
Raja talkin to the Manager and room boy,
-Maniger, Maniger, koi kamra dedo.. single, jisme ek number aur do number ki suvidha honi chahiye, aur koi bhi puche mere baare me toh mat batana ke hum yahan rehte hai.
Naam?
-(after a lot of thinkng).....Tulsi das khan.
Baap ka naam?
-javed chaurasia
ma ka naam?
-mumtaz devi
arre tu admi hai ya india pakistan ki sarhad?
-aree chubbe saale gunde badmash!
baboo bisleri naame hai mera.
-to kya karu ..? nahau?
Rajpal has done over 60 films till date .His upcomming movies r Malamaal Weekly and ladies tailor.
Last year Rajpal married 5 feet 5 inches tall Radha. He met Radha while shooting in Canada for Hero-love story of a spy.(that was another bad bollywod production starring sunny paaji, preity and pri chops). They fell in love instantly.
rajpal charges a whopping 25 lakhs for each film. soon this Bihari guy he will shift to a 2 crore appartment.
I wish him all the best in life and salute his enormous talent.
