What is it like to act with stars across generation, from Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar to Ranbir Kapoor? Actor Rajesh Jais knows the answer. Rajesh, who has worked in TV shows and some of the biggest films of Bollywood, said all of them come with their own best qualities.

Rajesh Jais, who worked in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, called the superstar “highly professional” and marveled at his ability of doing action at his age. Shah Rukh has starred in two actioners this year, Pathaan and Jawan.

“He is very dynamic, energetic. I mean look at him, at this age he does all these action scenes, the intensity on his face, he looks like a 30-35 year old boy. This is very rare, not everyone has this quality,” he said in an interview with Rajshri Unplugged.

The actor then opened up about working with Akshay Kumar and called him an “industry in himself”. The duo had worked in the thriller Airlift. “He does so many films, of all types. We have seen his growth as well, how he began as an action hero and is now doing content cinema.”

Rajesh also spoke about Ranbir Kapoor, with whom he has worked in films like Tu Jhooti Main Makkaar and Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year. “Ranbir Kapoor is one of the finest actors. He works a lot, you must have seen him in different looks, and does all of that convincingly. He does a lot of hard work for it. He is equally sanskaari (cultured) as well, in terms of our relationship. He gives respect to senior actors like me. His stardom doesn’t come in between. When he works, he keeps all the boundaries in mind.”

Ranbir is currently basking in the success of his latest action drama Animal. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the film is setting new box office benchmarks as well polarising the audience with its content.
