Gajraj Rao Instagram – As a big fan of the “beautiful game”⚽️, it was exhilarating to finally catch up with MAIDAAN, a film about Indian football’s ‘Golden Generation’. Aside from the sense of pride this film instills about the incredible, little known history of this era (1950s- early 60s), what gratified even more, was the performance of old friend, Gajraj Rao @gajrajrao as the Bengali Sports Columnist, Roy Chowdhury. His incredible physical transformation, attention to linguistic and cultural nuance as well as maintaining the dignity and humanity of his otherwise ‘villain of the piece’ character, shows why he is amongst the elite actors of the Indian film Industry. His journey to the top of his trade is an example to all, of how persistence does indeed bear fruit.
On a personal note, meeting Gajraj bhai again at @spokenfest in Mumbai, after some three decades, it was remarkable to see how his feet were still firmly planted in the ground. In a crowd of his fawning fans, his gracious acknowledgement and warmth were truly reassuring and extremely appreciated. Wishing him the very best for his continued success! 🙏🏼
