“He is a bad guy with a good heart”: Abhishek Bajaj shares insights about his character in Amazon miniTV’s Namacool
Mumbai, 30th May, 2024: Amazon miniTV, Amazon’s free video streaming service, recently released the bromance dramedy Namacool, featuring Hina Khan, Abhinav Sharma, Aaron Kaul, Abhishek Bajaj, and Anushka Kaushik in pivotal roles. Set in the bustling city of Lucknow, the series follows the lives of Mayank and Piyush, two inseparable best friends who embark on their college journey to comprehend the true essence of brotherhood. An effort to pursue popularity and romance leads the duo into a series of misfortunes, transforming their lives into a chaotic blend of confusion, mayhem, and comedy.
Abhishek Bajaj, who portrays the role of ‘Chakku Bhaiyya’ in the series, shared his first reaction after reading the script, saying, “I knew I wanted to do this role when I first read the script. A UP guy with a Lucknawi accent, this guy poses to be an alpha male but has a prominent vulnerable side to himself. He is a bad guy with a good heart, and I was very happy to bring this interesting character to life on screen. When I was working on Student of the Year 2, characters hailing from UP were becoming increasingly popular. I wanted to play one, but I just wasn’t getting any of those roles. And the moment this opportunity came to me, I had to grab it, and the fact that it was so well written made it a rewarding experience.”
Further talking about his character, he added, “Whenever I play any character, I try to find that character within myself, to keep the emotions real. And Chakku is a very sweet guy with alpha traits, which made it easy for me to relate to him. Although he talks differently and I don’t fight as much as him, I take a stand for my people, hype them, and be there for them, just like him. And that’s the trait I could relate to the most.”
Namacool is now streaming exclusively on Amazon miniTV for free within Amazon’s shopping app, on Prime Video, Fire TV, Smart TVs, or download the app from Play Store.
