After all, why are they part of the stories related to small towns? Jitendra Kumar

Actor Jitendra Kumar, who rose to fame with his stellar performances as Everyman in web shows like TVF Pitchers, Kota Factory and Amazon Prime Video’s Panchayat, is back in the news with Saurabh Shukla’s directorial venture – Dry Day. The actor will, once again, be seen in the lead role in a small town story. In this interview with Indianexpress.com, when asked if he has stuck with small-town stories and films, he said that he feels lucky that he has been able to play relatable roles. When asked if he misses being a part of bigger, more mainstream films like Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, the actor said that he doesn’t really miss it and recounted how the film’s director once told him How he is approached for small town stories. The way he looks and speaks.

“I think these are big films,” he said. My director (filmmaker Hitesh Kewalya) who directed me in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan told me, ‘The way you look, the way you speak’, you are attracted to such stories. Stories that need to be told. When writers write these kinds of stories today, they’re thinking about you, so don’t worry about it.”

The actor confessed that earlier he used to get ‘stressed’ about it, but now he considers it a blessing in disguise. He said, “I used to think that I am being repetitive, or that the stories I am being a part of are the same, that I am doing small-town based films. He told me not to think like that and it’s a blessing. These towns have stories that need to be told. These issues need to be talked about, discussed and told in an authentic way and that is why writers think of me in their stories. So it’s going on like this. I feel fortunate to have been a part of stories that are impactful and need to be told.
