And while all the characters of 'TMKOC' enjoy a massive fan following, especially Jethalal essayed by actor Dilip Joshi, did you know before getting the latter onboard, actor Rajpal Yadav was offered the lead role in the popular sitcom and he turned it down? Recently, during the promotion of his upcoming film 'Hungama 2', when Rajpal Yadav was asked if he regretted turning down the role of Jethalal, he told radio host Siddharth Kannan, "Nahi, nahi. Jethalal ka character ki pehchaan ek achche adakaar, ek achche kalakaar ke haathon hui aur main har kirdaar ko kisi kalakaar ka kirdaar maanta hoon (No, no. The character of Jethalal is identified with a very fine actor, and I believe that an artist makes a character)." Rajpal Yadav will be soon seen in 'Hungama 2' alongside Shilpa Shetty, Paresh Rawal and Meezaan which will release on Disney+Hostar on July 23.
