Satyajeet Dubey returns to TV after nine years!

Popular actor Satyajeet Dubey who started his acting career with historical drama Jhansi Ki Rani is all geared up to return on television after nine long years. Apparently, he will be returning with a finite series titled Maharaj Ki Jai Ho. In a bid to attempt something new, Satyajeet moved on to films and featured in movies like Always Kabhi Kabhi and Kerry On Kutton. 

Speaking with Bombay Times, the actor revealed, “I play Sanjay in Maharaj Ki Jai Ho, which is a situational comedy. My character is that of a rangeela, street-smart punter. Somehow, he goes back in time by 5,000 years and that’s what piqued my interest. I was keeping away from typical shows — in which the hero, an NRI, falls in love with the heroine and so on and so forth. It gets tiresome to keep doing the same thing, but fortunately, with this show, I am in a different space, as I am getting to explore two timelines. Having said that, hats off to those who keep on doing the same thing repeatedly, but then, everyone’s motivations are different. If you ask me, I want quality to be my legacy.”

Talking about his return to TV, he says, “I don’t believe in comebacks. I was just excited about starting my acting career by appearing on a TV show. I was like a curious kid at a candy store wondering about all that I could do in front of the camera. I moved to films, because as an artiste I have limited amount of energy and creativity, which I intend to spend wisely and hence, I picked up offers that resonate with me.”

Not just the series, but Satyajeet will also be seen in upcoming political-action thriller Prassthanam, produced by Sanjay Dutt.
