Rajesh Tailang on not getting desired roles

In the same interview, he also spoke about being a misfit in the Television industry after Balaji took over telly. “The kind of actors they needed were different. They didn’t need actors like us much anymore. I’m not saying that the actors who worked were not good, but there were not many roles left for people like us. They needed uncle-type roles, and I was in an age where I couldn’t play a very young character or a very old one. There was no slot for me. What remained were characters like inspectors, lawyers, doctors—one-day or two-day roles, which were of no use. That was when I saw a different form of struggle,” the Mirzapur actor concluded.
