Bollywood's Hidden Gem: Kay Kay Menon on Risks, Awards, and Stardom | Karishma Mehta | Ep 87

“Sarkar was the turning point in my life… Before that movie, I’d introduce myself as – Hi, I’m Kay Kay Menon, I’m an actor. After Sarkar, I no longer had to mention that I’m an actor! People flogged to the theatres to watch Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, but I became the additional bonus in the film. And working with Mr. Bachchan was fantastic… words fall short when we talk about him!” Beginning his acting journey with theatre, Kay Kay Menon’s almost two-decade career has been rather unique. Having begun acting at a time when the definition of a ‘hero’ was throwing punches and dancing around trees, Kay Kay Menon created a niche for himself as an actor—an actor who could play varied roles, without worrying about the stereotypical boxes. And perhaps, the fact that he was picky about his work is what has made him the legend he is today. Along with Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan, he’s built an edifice in his words, that the current generation of actors are building on—redefining the ‘actor’ in cinema. Join us as he takes us through his fascinating journey—from working with Naseeruddin Shah and Amitabh Bachchan to his take on the 100CR club, awards, and nepotism; and from how he survived despite the uncertain work to his latest release, Shekhar Home… This episode is a must-watch, especially for aspiring actors.
