“Friends” who met Shah Rukh Khan, was a top comedian who worked with Akshay, Govinda, Hrithik; blamed, still unemployed for 7 years, he was…
Born in the 1990s, I do remember how Suresh Menon performed with him at Phir Hera Pheri, Dool n Final, Deewane Huye Paagal. Sadly, he has lost his job in the past few years, so he has left Bollywood.
Still Life from Phir Hera Pheri
Experienced comedian and actor Suresh Menon, who has worked with big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Govinda, said he no longer works in Bollywood. Despite his passion for acting, he felt the industry had changed so much that actors like him had no room for them.
Suresh Menon of the industry has “continued”
Suresh shared in an interview with digital commentary that even after spending 30 years in the film industry, he now has to be directors and auditions with the actors, something he has never had before. What’s even more painful is that sometimes, the people who attended the audition didn’t even know him.
Nepotism or Groupism: About what is the real question?
Interestingly, Suresh refuted the idea of ​​nepotism, saying it wasn’t a real problem in Bollywood. Instead, he believes that groupism—the job opportunities are limited to people within certain groups—is a bigger problem. “No nepotism, just groupism. That’s the real challenge. I’ve never bothered anyone in their personal lives, but I’m left out,” he said.

Painful “Return” tag on Suresh
Suresh recalls his visit to a famous actor institution and he recalls a sad incident in which someone introduced him as a “return actor.” “It feels like someone stabbed me in it. I’ve never left. I’ve always been around,” he said. He recently made a brief cameo in an English film, where he joked that he called himself “guest master.”
Only heroes play roles – others wait: Suresh Menon
Suresh notes that characters are still the role of mainstream stars, and actors like him are often overlooked. He said earlier, heroes could play any role—be it’s a Biharian or a South Indian character—but now only big stars can get such opportunities. Artists like him have to wait indefinitely, and even “stupid comedy movies” don’t think about him anymore.
Suresh Menon is rejected by major directors
Mentioned about upcoming movies such as “Ahmed Khan – Main Zinda Hoon!, and welcome to the Jungle Mein Mujhe Nahi Mila”. Suresh shared his disappointment: “No one called for these. It was frustrating.” But Suresh felt that it didn’t apply to his case. He believes that typing – trapped in an image – is unfair to the artist. Finally, he said, “Maybe it’s not my time. But it’s wrong to limit the artist to a certain image. I like to be in front of the camera, there is always.” On the job side, Suresh last appeared in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
