Jeetendra Joshi praises ‘Tumbadchi Manjula’ co-star Sai Tamhankar
Talking about Sai, Jeetendra said, “He is a very good actor. He speaks through his eyes, which I feel is a bit difficult when you are working with him. It’s challenging in a good way for an actor because he conveys so much without saying anything. So I tried to match his intensity. Chemistry happens naturally when two good actors are working together. They know how to give each other space and improve each other’s work. That’s why they keep pushing themselves and working hard. There is no other reason behind it. I love working with good actors. The same thing happened when he was working with Sai in ‘Tumbadchi Manjula’.”

“When you watch ‘Bandar’, you won’t forget Bobby Deol or me. Watching it is an unforgettable film. It’s a must-see because the kind of acting Bobby Deol has done is unbelievable. It’s Anurag Kashyap at his best. The film is a must-see,” Jeetendra agreed.It is interesting that the audience is appreciating the actor for two completely opposite roles that debuted almost simultaneously.“In ‘Tumbadchi Manjula’, I play a simple and lovable man who tries to maintain peace among everyone around him. In ‘Bandar’, I play a corrupt and ruthless cop. I received appreciation for both the performances. And now, in a month’s time, I will be back with ‘Mardini’,” shares Jeetendra.
