Jitendra Kumar on why he chose role in Bhagwat Chapter One Raakshas
In the Zee5 film, Jitendra plays a character named Professor Sameer, who looks to be hiding a dangerous secret. The actor shared, "I wanted to do a film like Bhagwat for a long time. As an actor, I love exploring new territories — roles that feel unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter if a character is pleasant, intense, or grey; if it feels fresh, it excites me. Sometimes, it’s just one scene that makes you think, ‘I’ve never done something like this before,’ and that becomes the reason to say yes. Bhagwat gave me that feeling right from the first narration. It was raw, unpredictable, and unlike anything I’ve done so far."Jitendra Kumar's upcoming projects
The actor is set to return as Sachivji Abhishek Tripathi in the fifth season of Amazon Prime Video's Panchayat. He is also playing a key role in Mirzapur: The Film, which is slated for a theatrical release in 2026.Do you find this article useful?
