Sourabh Raaj Jain Says An Actor Needs To Keep Moving Onto A Latest Character
When asked about moving on from his iconic portrayal of Shri Krishna and whether he continues to receive the identical love from the audience, Sourabh Raaj Jain said, “Maine Shri Krishna ji ka kirdar kareeban 12–13 saal pehle nibhaya tha aur tab se leke ab tak principal bahut saari cheezein aur bhi kar chuka hoon. What happens is ki agar koi aapka koi aisa koi bhi kirdar, mere liye Shri Krishna ji ka kirdar hai, but I believe ki ek cheez aisi ho jaati hai.”
The actor continued, “Jaise Sholay mein jinhone Gabbar Singh ka role play kiya tha, unko baar-baar bole toh matlab ek dhyaan jaata hai jab hum unke baare mein baat karte hain, toh unhone Gabbar Singh play kiya tha. Lekin unhone aur kitne behtareen characters play kiye the. There have been so many others, and folks loved him in those, too. So it shouldn’t be like that. I believe aisa nahi hai ki maine woh character chhoda aur ab principal isme aaya hoon. It’s in between a number of things happening. So different projects, different characters, and we keep moving on.”

Speaking on being boxed right into a certain character, Sourabh said, “TV mein, yes, maine bahut tarah-tarah ke roles kiye hain. Kaafi different roles kiye hain. Jahan tak typecast ki baat hai, very truthfully, there was a degree once I used to think rather a lot about it, kyunki mujhe baar-baar usi tarah ke roles offer ho rahe the. Aisa nahi tha ki aur roles nahi aa rahe, lekin haan, 10 mein se agar principal bolun toh 7 could be of the same type. After which obviously proportionality aisi ho jaati hai ki joh zyada hote hain woh zyada hote hain aur wo kam hote hain.”
He added, ” Lekin, I believe as life goes on, I actually have to do various things all the way in which. Wo 12–13 saal pehle maine kirdar play kiya tha. Ab principal jaake theatre mein phir se wo kirdar play kar raha hoon. Lekin us time aur aaj ke time ke beech mein bahut lamba faasla hai jismein maine bahut saari cheezein kari hain. So straight away, I don’t think much about it.”
