Paresh Rawal, the jack of all trades as well as the master of all, hes an actor that redefined cinema. Be it Bollywood or regional, that man will have no haters at all. From Baburao in Hera Pheri to Govind Bhardwaj in URI, lets see some of his versatile characters.
1. Paresh Rawal As Baburao Ganpatrao Apte
Do we even need to say anything on this? If you don't know who Baburao is, run for your life because we've got special instructions from the actor himself - "khopdi tod saale ka!"The first of Hera Pheri series released in 2000, giving us gem of characters like Raju (Akshay Kumar), Shyam (Suniel Shetty), and Baburao (Paresh Rawal). The sequel of the movie Phir Hera Pheri was out in the year 2006, continuing the laughter legacy with the same cast. A tummy-aching comedy, the movie will be having the third part of it with cast still in disucssion.
2. Paresh Rawal as Govind Bhardwaj
URI: The Surgical Strike bought back the Paresh Rawal we missed seeing. After taking a break from comic roles, the actor was seen embracing a serious character as the Defence Minister of India. His character had strength, patience, confidence, and everything in between.
3. Paresh Rawal as Teja
Thanks to Teja, we've already planned our post-retirement business. Opening a poultry farm and naming it 'Hamara Bajaj.' The tagline would read someting as "Bread ka Badshah Omlette ka Raja..Bajaj..humaara bajaj"
4. Paresh Rawal as Kanji Lalji Mehta
A Gujarati theatre drama converted into a movie, Paresh Rawal plays the role of an atheist businessman whose daily survival is selling idol of Gods. Ironic, isn't it? That's not it - in this movie, Kanjibhai (Paresh Rawal) sues God and their so called 'messengers' after an earthquake destroyed his shop. Along with the movie, his acting highly appreciated. For anyone who is not an atheist, this movie will help you understand the practicality of today's spiritual world.
