He did say in the interview that he has no preferences and wants to play all kinds of roles, and accept the challenges they would offer him, but he is not cut out for these standard issue lallu panju type of male leads. I am sure he knows that and would never have tried for any of them either.
@blue.I too find this stereotyping complaint quite ridiculous. Charlton Heston was a huge star, and for 90% of his roles, he was larger than life: Moses, Ben Hur, General Gordon, El Cid, the list is a very long one. No one said he was being stereotyped. Cary Grant played the same sophisticated man about town, and John Wayne played the same honourable cowboy all their acting lives, and no one carped about that. Yahan to logon ko aur koyi kaam hi nahin hai.

aunty, i agree with u. i guess on TV strong & challenging roles especially for a male actor is not a cake walk. & why not another historical?? its thousand times better to play such a role rather than playing a male lead in most of the modern shows today. rajat had played them quite successfully so why not another one. why an actor playing more than one costume drama is tagged stereotype & not the guy playing more than one modern role?? btw in this one yr rajat didnt try for anything else. he had stuck to cgm only & inbetween did naagin. so we cant say wht would have happened if he had tried but there was no surety also he would have got the type of role tht suits him. i will never want him to do roles like naagin's hero or bramharaksas hero or ahemji naitikji type roles.
