Awful and Awesome Ep 238: Shyam Singha Roy, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary, Unpaused: Naya Safar
The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While talking about why Manoj Bajpayee walked out of a show that Suresh was a part of:
Abhinandan: Why did he walk out of the show, what was the problem?
Suresh: So, he felt that what he was doing was not doing him justice as an actor. For example, that show, I played a slipper.
Abhinandan: Sorry?
Suresh: I played a chappal.
Abbas: I’m getting a sense of why he walked out of the show.
Abhinandan, Abbas and Suresh burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri is joined by stand-up comedian Abbas Momin and actor and comedian Suresh Menon. They review the documentary Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, the film Shyam Singha Roy, and the series Unpaused: Naya Safar.
PS: Suresh does some celebrity impressions that you don’t want to miss. Also hear what Angry Ganeshan has to say about Republic Day!
