Shreyas Talpade talks about his B-town journey
FirstpostShreyas Talpade had a period in his career where he appeared in multiple multi-starrer comedies, which he claims he did to keep working rather than “sit on the fence” and wait for the proper project to come along. Though he continued to dabble in the genre with Shyam Benegal’s 2008 comedy-drama Welcome to Sajjanpur, he quickly went on to multi-starrer comedies like the Golmaal trilogy, Paying Guests, and Aagey Se Right, among others. Before Talpade made a switch to comedies, the actor recalled how he was asked to audition for a comedy franchise by a director, who told him that his audition was nice, “but I had a serious image so he was apprehensive” Talpade said the perception got him “worried and upset” but things soon changed when he got a call from Subhash Ghai for his production Apna Sapna Money Money, a comedy also starring Suniel Shetty, Ritesh Deshmukh, Anupam Kher among others. Talpade said from the mid-2000s till the end of the decade, the industry was going through a phase of multi-starrer comedies, from Golmaal, Dhamaal to Dhol and he didn’t want to “miss out on that”.
