Mirzapur's Rajesh Tailang praises Janhvi Kapoor and finds her to be a natural in front of the camera
MUMBAI: Rajesh Tailang is eagerly awaiting the release of his next project Ulajh after a few weeks following the release of Mirzapur's third season. Director Sudhanshu Saria assembled a diverse ensemble for the thriller, with Janhvi Kapoor, Gulshan Devaiah, and Roshan Mathew taking centre stage and being well-supported by veteran actors Adil Hussain and Tailang.
"All my co-stars in Ulajh are so sincere, and did such a good job. I don't think I was as good an actor at their age. Roshan and Gulshan are thoughtful actors. They do a scene not just for the sake of it; they put a lot of thought and hard work behind it," marvels Tailang.
Most of his scenes in the film are with Kapoor, whom he calls a natural in front of the camera. "She is hard-working and a natural. She is a supportive and grounded actor, which helps you as a co-star. We were all fans of her mother. You can see a glimpse of Sridevi-ji in her," he says.
Following Ulajh, Tailang will be featured in the ZEE 5 series helmed by Sudhir Mishra and the satire Bandish Bandits 2, starring Sakshi Tanwar and Gajraj Rao. He worked hard to earn this busy time in his field of work. With over twenty years of acting experience under his belt, the actor recalls the period when he was consistently turned down by the entertainment industry.
"I have rejected work, but more than that, people have rejected me. But I have never been insecure because I have focused on my growth as an actor. When I didn't have a lot of screen work, I did theatre and taught at NSD [National School of Drama]. When you work on yourself and your craft, the fragrance [of your hard work] reaches people."
