In conversation with mid-day, Malik talks about his hesitation before taking up Gatha Shiv Parivaar Ki – Ganesh Kartikey, his move towards films, and working on the set of Mirzapur: The Fil...

It’s natural for an actor to feel apprehensive about alienating their audience when breaking away from their screen image. But Jitendra Kumar had no such worries when he said yes to Bhagwat Chapter One: Raakshas. “Of course, there are things that connect with the audience. But no matter how strong an actor’s image is, the audience wants to be surprised,” starts Kumar, who has built a fan base with his dependable characters in TVF’s Panchayat and Kota Factory. The Zee5 film felt like a necessary step. To him, it’s thrilling that even though he is best known as Jeetu bhaiyya of Kota Factory, the makers envisioned him in a dark role. “Harman [Baweja, producer] and the team’s excitement about having me in this complex, grey part excited me a lot. But it also raised expectations,” he smiles. I...
