His hilarious exchanges with Shahid Kapoor’s Jeetu make him an unforgettable character in the movie because to his spot-on acting and comedy. While the movie made millions of people smile, Yadav also received evidence that he had succeeded in the business when he got a call from Priyadarshan asking for a 40-day shoot.

The Hungama actor talked about going to famed hairstylist Aalim Hakim to get a new cut for the picture. The cut cost him an outrageous Rs 26,000, but it gave him the assurance he needed to work with Priyadarshan, who did not like it. He said, “I landed in Goa, went to the set. I was feeling so confident because of my new haircut, and then, I saw Priyadarshan looking at me and swearing under his breath.”

The Bhool Bhulaiyaa star added how the director did not like his hair and asked his assistants to put a bowl on his head and cut his locks. Rajpal Yadav said, “He was gesturing towards me and complaining about something to his assistants. He called me over, and told the assistants to take me away. I swear to you, they put a ‘katora (bowl)’ on my head and cut all my hair off.” However, Aalim Hakim refused to take the payment as the actor revealed, “If you watch Chup Chup Ke now, you’ll see. Aalim didn’t take money for that haircut, I kept insisting, because the production would’ve paid for it, but he didn’t. He was shocked to see me when I returned to Mumbai.”

For the unversed, the movie also starred Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal and Om Puri.
