Krishna Bharadwaj on willing to play negative roles now; tired of playing the good guy

Actor Krishna Bharadwaj might have been on the tube for over a decade now but it was his last and recent TV stint that he will be remembered by the most. His stint as the leading man in Sab TV's Tenali Rama went on to last for over three and a half years and over 800 episodes.

But having played the 'good guy' for a while now, Bharadwaj now wants to go break bad on-screen and play negative characters. Currently in Ahmedabad shooting for the sequel to his massively successful Gujarati film, Chal Mann Jeetva Jaiye, Bharadwaj opened up on the same and several other plans ahead.

Talking about playing negative role on-screen, Bharadwaj said that he is tired of playing the good guy on TV all this time as ever since his debut till Tenali Rama, he has done that. He mentioned that he is interested in doing something that is an out-and-out negative character and something that is not even remotely 'good.' He did mention that he was very happy for the four years of Tenali Rama where even though he essayed a good person, there was an element of humor and satire which kept hi engrossed.

Talking about the sequel to Chal Mann Jeetva Jaiye and Gujarati cinema, he said, "When I did Chal Mann Jeetva Jaiye, I was in absolute awe of the content and the way the content was treated. I watched a few Gujarati films during the lockdown and I was impressed with the treatment and content in films like Chaal Jeevi Laiye, Wrong Side Raju but then after watching Hellaro, I was absolutely elated. I felt proud to be a part of Gujarati films with this one film. Currently as I am shooting for the sequel of Chal Mann Jeetva Jaiye, it is another proud feeling because of the way the concept has progressed. It is good to see Gujarati films scaling new heights whether it is in terms of content, budget or even reach. This is definitely an exciting phase to be a part of this film industry."
