One among them is known for his funny antics and comic
timing and the other is known to be one of the most
versatile actors in Bollywood these days. Rajpal Yadav
and Kay Kay Menon. Of course, those who are not interested
in Hindi films might not have even heard these names
but believe us these are actors worth watching on screen.
Rajpal Yadav is more or less the reigning comedy king
of Bollywood with his latest Chota Don act in Partner
putting him right on top of everyone else. Kay Kay Menon
is a synonym of intensity, his performance in Sarkaar
and the more recent Black Friday and Metro stand testimony
to his acting talent. But he has proved that he can
handle comedy pretty well too with Honeymoon Travels
Pvt. Ltd.
Now what will these people be doing? Well, Kay Kay Menon
will be doing 14 roles in a movie to be directed by
theater artiste Makrand Deshpande (Lagaan and Swades
fame). The movie is an adaptation of a successful play
directed by the same person. It will be a spoof on Hindi
films and actors and will see Kay Kay Menon don different
get ups; actor, director, postman, milkman etc. Really
tough to guess what this movie is going to look like.
Rajpal Yadav will be going two higher in Bunty Ka Mama,
which will see him in 16 roles, and he is going to be
playing the most famous personalities on earth. Not
Bush or Osama, he will be playing Superman, Batman,
Spiderman, Shaktiman and a range of other international
and local superheroes.
Of course, the scale at which these movies are being
made will not even be close to the Dasavatharam levels
but the challenge they are taking up of doing so many
roles in a single film is the same. Will the results
delight or disappoint?
