Actor Rajpal Yadav, who has played many iconic comedy characters in Bollywood films, is now all set to once again provide total entertainment to the audiences. The third part of the popular horror comedy film franchise ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ is all set to release in theaters and Rajpal is back in the role of Chhote Pandit.
Rajpal Yadav played this character for the first time in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ (2007), starring Akshay Kumar. Karthik Aryan came in for Akshay in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, but Rajpal was still a part of the second film. However, his style had changed a lot in the new film. Now Rajpal has told how his character reappears with a new attitude in the third film.
Why ‘Chhote Pandit’ is the most iconic character
In conversation with ANI, Rajpal Yadav spoke about the growth of his character in the three films. Since the first film in 2007, the character of Chhote Pandit has become very popular among audiences and is often used in memes. Now this is the only character left in the ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ franchise, who had seen Manjulika for the first time and that incident had completely changed the character of Chhote Pandit.
Talking about the details of his character in the new film, Rajpal said, “He is not just a character but a caricature, a typical comic model. In our Indian culture, in Bharat Muni’s ‘Natya Shastra’, characters are mentioned who are sutradhars or jesters. Chhota Pandit is one of a kind, a character makes fun of himself and no one else, he adds a comic touch to the story.
New look of ‘Chhote Pandit’ in new movie
Rajpal further said, “You have seen it in different colours: red in the first film and white in the second, to protect against fire.” Now he will be seen wrapped in sandalwood paste to remove all the negativity from himself. This will add a fresh and humorous dimension to your character.
On working with Kartik Aryan again after ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, Rajpal said, ‘Our bond is very good and working with him has been a fun experience. Includes many memorable moments.
Director Anees Bazmee’s film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ will release in theaters on November 1. Along with Kartik Aryan and Rajpal Yadav, the film also stars Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Trupti Dimri and Sanjay Mishra.
