Yadav was the only actor who got to be part of sequel to the 2007 movie. “I was a little surprised when I got to know that after over a decade BB was heading for a sequel. And then, Anees (Bazmee, director) bhai called me and said it’s time to take the character of Chhote Pandit to next level. I was ecstatic hearing the idea. The character actually elevated a notch up from the last outing. It turned out to be of the best roles that I played of late. I have enjoyed every bit of the movie and so is the audience.” Seen playing a variety of characters largely comedy Yadav feels his journey in the industry has been full of highs and lows.
