Lately, Rajpal Yadav was in Dubai to record a podcast with famous Pakistani digital creator Nadir Ali. Rajpal Yadav expressed his best wishes for Pakistan and also shared his opinion on anti Pakistan films. He also talked about his favourite Pakistani comedians.
Talking about anti-Pakistan movies, he said, “This is a very sensitive question. We make around 500 movies in a year—some for entertainment, some action—but in the end, all those working in it are human, they show emotions as an act. Also, it depends on the director. Among those 500 movies, only two are based on history or controversy, while the majority are made for entertainment. I once did a movie, The Hero, in which I played a similar kind of character. However, after maturing and achieving success, I chose not to be part of any film that could hurt the sentiments of either Pakistan or India.” Here is the link to the video:
Talking about Moin Akhtar and Omer Sharif, he said, “Omar Sharif and Moin Akhtar were the kings of their craft; they were truly blessed. You had to be glued to the screen because of their talent—you couldn’t miss a second. If you looked away, you would miss a lot, especially in Loose Talk, where every dialogue and gesture was priceless. We used to listen to Omar Sharif’s audio cassettes. They were stars, naturally gifted with creativity”. Here is the link to the video:
