Kay Kay Menon says he got ‘real’ recognition after Sarkar: ‘Didn’t have to introduce myself as an actor, could just say I am Kay Kay’

The actor further added, “But I think that happened with Sarkar for me. With (Amitabh) Bachchan sahab being there. People had come to see Mr Bachchan, they got a bonus along with that. So, that is the place I actually got recognised in my career. After which I didn’t have to introduce myself as an actor. I could say that I am Kay Kay. So, that was the thing.”

Kay Kay has been a part of both commercial and parallel cinema, and after Sarkar, he never gauged his career in any way.

“After that, I have not really measured anything in terms of my career and I don’t have yardsticks to measure it as well. So, whatever is post facto after my act is over is something that is very speculative. I don’t get into it. For me, that’s for cinema pandits and trade experts to say. That’s not my job. I have done the so-called mainstream. I have done films with Akshay Kumar, and I have done everything,” said the actor.
