00:00After 45, 50, in Hollywood, or in the world, actors are young, actually.
00:06So I'm also trying to be young now.
00:17On the world stage of cinema,
00:19for the first time in Cannes,
00:21I have taken birth, just for the first entry.
00:31Hi friends, this is Rajpal Yadav, you are watching me on Brute.
00:35Tell me sir, what can I do for you?
00:37Whenever I watch a film, my heart goes crazy.
00:44In 25 years, if I release, unrelease,
00:48and say, I know the serial,
00:52in which Mungerik Bhai Naurangilal is the main lead.
01:00How many roles have you played?
01:04Around 200 films,
01:07in which 10% lead,
01:09around 60% comic,
01:12and some guest appearances,
01:14some are serious.
01:16So I think I'm the happiest man in this world.
01:23I got a chance to do that.
01:25If I get a role like that,
01:27then their mentality is different.
01:31So where I got a chance to do entertainment,
01:34comedy, in many films,
01:37and some meaningful films.
01:40So I think, to do these meaningful films,
01:43first I want to be Madhuri Dixit,
01:46I, My Wife, and Bhopal Prayer for Rain,
01:49there are many such films.
01:51Then Ardh, after that, the work is still going on.
01:54So I feel very good,
01:57that I got a chance to be a part of the commercial industry,
02:02and on the other hand,
02:04I got a chance to be a part of the festival industry,
02:06festival world.
02:20In any service,
02:22in any industry,
02:24in anyone,
02:26first of all, there is ignorance and rejection,
02:29and that gives you energy,
02:31and then you get registered,
02:33and you also get accepted.
02:39Look, I believe,
02:41that you become a seed,
02:43don't think of becoming a tree.
02:46You become a beginner,
02:48the seed that is inside you,
02:50for acting,
02:52and that seed,
02:54the seed sprouts,
02:56and then slowly slowly,
02:58as the tree grows,
03:00so does the artist's life.
03:02I feel that,
03:04if you have entered in art,
03:08if you love art,
03:10if you have an art passion,
03:12and you are taking an entry in this,
03:14then somewhere,
03:16there are jobs for lakhs of people,
03:18there is a job for you,
03:20and there is a place for you,
03:22and you,
03:24keep walking, keep walking,
03:26you will reach your destination.
