The principal actors in their upcoming film Mr & Mrs Mahi, Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, will be appearing on the tenth episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. A sneak peek of their hilarious episode has been posted on social media by the show’s creators. Rajkummar discussed his early days in the business on the broadcast, revealing that he was duped by a person who gave him a movie.
When Kapil questioned him about the event during the show, the actor revealed that the individual had taken Rs 10,000 from him and promised to make him an actor by offering him a role in a movie.
Narrating the incident, Rajkummar said that he had seen an advertisement in the newspaper which mentioned the requirement of an actor. He said that back then, he didn’t know the difference between TV and films. “I called them and (this person) asked me to meet him. I cycled all the way to South Ext in Delhi. They had a typical office. The man had a photo with everyone from Gulshan Grover to Raza Murad. I thought he knew everyone. He said it would cost me 10,000 rupees for a photo shoot,” he said.
He further expressed how he was scammed, and the place he went for the photoshoot was empty within three days. Rajkummar added, “My mother borrowed money and gave me Rs 10,000. The person got my photoshoot done at Kalindi Kunj Park. Then I got a call that I had been selected. I was on my knees thinking I made it in life. I was all set. After three days, when I went to meet him, that place was empty. The office was locked and no one was there. I asked people around me about it. They told me they had run away.”
The engaging pair of Janhvi and Rajkummar will make the audience laugh out loud with their lively banter and amusing anecdotes.
The story of Mahendra, a failed cricket player, and Mahima, a doctor, who are brought together by the virtue of an arranged marriage, is told in the Rajkummar and Janhvi film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi. Zed Studios and Dharma Productions are the producers, and Sharan Sharma is the director. The movie is scheduled to open on May 31.
