Elvish Yadav confirms acting debut with Malamaal Weekly 2, pens heartfelt note: ‘Bollywood mein mera koi nahi tha’
Elvish Yadav started off as a YouTuber and went on to participate in Bigg Boss OTT Season 2 as a wild-card contestant. He ended up winning the show.
Elvish Yadav is all set to debut as an actor. From a YouTuber to a reality show star and now a Bollywood actor, Elvish has come a long way. Taking to his X account on Thursday, Elvish thanked fans for all the love and support, saying that whatever he has become is because of them. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Elvish has been cast in Malamaal Weekly 2, alongside Riteish Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav.
What Elvish shared
On X , Elvish wrote, "Nayi film. Naya safar. Main bahar se aaya hoon, Bollywood mein mera koi nahi tha. Aap logon ke beech se uth kar aaya, aur aapke pyaar ne mujhe ab bade parde tak pahuncha diya. Aaj jo kuch bhi hoon, aapke pyaar ki wajah se hoon. Aur isi pyaar ki wajah se main "MALAMAAL" hu. Bas pyaar banaye rakhna (New film. New journey. I came from outside, I had no one in Bollywood. I rose from among you people, and your love has now brought me to the big screen. Whatever I am today, it's because of your love. And because of this very love, I am here. Just keep the love going)."
‘A stereotype that YouTubers only get tiny roles’
This is not the first time that Elvish has thanked fans for their support. A few days ago, Elvish had shared another post on X to recall his journey so far. He wrote, “If it wasn’t for you guys, my Bollywood debut would never have been possible. For all these years, I’ve done my best to entertain you, and now I’m stepping into a whole new journey. The most exciting part is that this isn’t just a small cameo, I have a really strong role in this film.”
He went on to add, “There’s always been a stereotype that YouTubers only get tiny roles in movies, and I’m genuinely happy to be a part of a film that’s breaking that stereotype. I truly believe you’re going to love my character. I promise to give everything I have and work even harder so that one day, you’ll be proud of me. Thank you for believing in me, supporting me, and standing by my side through every step of this journey. This achievement isn’t just mine it’s ours. I love you guys. Thank you for making this dream come true. I can’t wait for you all to watch the film. You’re going to love my role.”
Released in 2006, Malamaal Weekly was a box office success. Directed by Priyadarshan, the comedy-drama starred Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Riteish Deshmukh, and Arbaaz Khan. The sequel reportedly brings back Riteish, Paresh, and Rajpal Yadav from the first film. Parineeti Chopra, Raveena Tandon and Shilpa Shirodkar have been signed on as the female cast of the film.
