Shardul Pandit makes a comeback as an actor in May 'I Come In Madam'


 

Actor and anchor Shardul Pandit is making a comeback to acting after four years in the comedy show May I Come In Madam. When contacted, Shardul confirmed the development, " Yes, I am doing a role in May I Come In Madam. It's a very interesting feeling because comedy is something very different from the drama shows I have been used too. I always wanted to do comedy because as a VJ, I am already doing comedy. So, it was fast, quick and a lot of fun unlike other drama shows, where you know the shoot takes a lot of time."
Talking about his character, he says,"I play a character called Rajan who wants to take place of Saajan in Sanjana Hiteshi's office. And since he is younger than him, Rajan gives him a complex. And what happens after he comes is the story."
Shardul says that this was the quickest, most fun shoot he has done till date, "Shooting with Sandeep Anand and Neha Pendse was very easy and fun, because they rehearse before shooting which is a very good practice. It doesn't happen with normal daily soaps. We could shoot a scene in exactly 15 minutes, which was a great experience."
So who is his favourite funnyman? "For me, it has to be Rishi Kapoor. He has incredible timing. I mean, he is such a natural that it's unbelievable. From Bol Raddha Bol to Kapoor & Sons, he was just great. Also, I have to mention Akshay Kumar because there was this part in Varun Dhawan's Dishoom, where he just comes for one scene and shows what a brilliant comedian he is."
