Jaaved Jaaferi: There was a phase when nobody was bigger than Big B, but he was also limited | Interview

Jaaved Jaaferi says younger actors are professional and focused but in a hurry and not accommodating.

He believes comedy like Charlie Chaplin, Mr Bean, and Tom and Jerry remains timeless, citing Dhamaal as an example.

Jaaferi asserts he has avoided being stereotyped by playing diverse roles including villain and serious characters.

He notes that commercial success can trap actors, as audiences and filmmakers typecast them based on past hits.

Jaaferi compares this to Amitabh Bachchan's phase when no one was bigger but he was also limited by expectations.
