Rajiv Thakur, known for comedy, recently played the role of a terrorist in the web series ‘IC 814: Kandahar Hijack’. After this role, he hopes that people will now see him not only as a comedian but also as a serious actor. Let us tell you, these days he is seen in ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’. During a conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Rajiv told that initially director Anubhav Sinha and the casting team were a little skeptical whether the audience would accept him in such a serious character. He said, ‘When I was called for audition, the biggest concern was that if people started laughing after seeing my character, the whole series would be spoiled. My introduction is in the beginning and if even once people felt that I would do comedy, then the character or the series could have weakened.’ Regarding the reactions to the casting in the series, Rajiv said, ‘Initially some people were shocked that this is the same Rajiv Thakur, but as the series progressed, people started taking my character seriously. Anubhav sir helped me a lot in understanding the depth of the character. I had not done any special preparation, but whatever he explained, I completely adapted myself to it. This was a completely new experience for me. There was no space for comedy in this character, and Anubhav sir’s guidance helped a lot in playing it.’ When asked what kind of roles he is getting after this series, he said, ‘The reactions are very good. Now I want to start getting different types of roles. People have seen my comedy, now they have also seen negative characters. Hopefully, now I will get more new and challenging roles. I hope that people in the industry will see me in new characters. I am ready to play all kinds of roles.’ Finally, about ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’, Rajiv said, ‘You will see me more in the new season of the show. New season, better season, and hopefully this time too we will make the audience laugh a lot.’ ……………………………….. Read these news too.. 1.
