Mumbai, Nov 28 (NationPress) Renowned actor Rajesh Tailang reprises the character of Rajendra, Radhe’s father, in the new season of 'Bandish Bandits 2'. He revealed that his father's unrealized aspirations are coming to life through this role.
Rajesh, who originates from the esteemed Bikaner Gharana, discussed the profound musical heritage of his character and his own background.
He remarked: “Interestingly, when Anand, our director, cast me for the role, he was unaware of my rich musical lineage or my roots in Rajasthan—specifically, Bikaner. Music is embedded in my essence. Although my character, Rajendra, belongs to the Jodhpur Gharana, I represent the Bikaner Gharana in reality. In the first season, I drew significantly from my father’s experiences for my performance.”
Rajesh explained that his father was unable to follow his musical aspirations due to the responsibilities he had to shoulder as the eldest family member.
“He opted to start a business instead, but the sorrow of abandoning his musical dreams was always evident. This emotional struggle formed the backbone of my character in the first season.”
The actor mentioned that the second season presents an even more poignant journey for him.
“My father’s unfulfilled dreams are being expressed through my performance. When Anand recognized this personal connection, he was ecstatic and mentioned he couldn't have envisioned a better choice for the role.”
Produced by Amritpal Singh Bindra and directed by Anand Tiwari, this production by Leo Media Collective Private Limited will feature the return of its talented ensemble including Ritwik Bhowmik, Shreya Chaudhry, Sheeba Chaddha, Atul Kulkarni, Rajesh Tailang, and Kunaal Roy Kapur, along with new cast members Divya Dutta, Rohan Gurbaxani, Yashaswini Dayama, Aaliyah Qureshi, and Saurabh Nayyar in significant roles.
'Bandish Bandits Season 2' is set to premiere on December 13 on Prime Video.
