Jeet made headlines for being the first actor to have a Bengali and Hindi movie released at the same time. His upcoming film appearance is in the action thriller Chengiz. Jeet talked openly about professional rejections throughout the film’s promotion. He said that in the early stages of his career, he was dropped from television programmes. The failure of his Telugu film Chandu at the box office was followed by even more rejection.
Jeet began his career as a model before making his acting debut in the Bengali TV serial Bishabriksha. With Chandu, he made his cinematic debut in the Telugu film business. The actor went to Bengali films after the 2001 release of the film, which did not do well at the box office. His first big break came with the movie Sathi, and he continued to star in popular movies like Awara, Bachchan, Boss, Game, Jor, Besh Korechi Prem Korechi, Fighter, Dui Prithibi, Sultan, and Deewana, among others.
Jeet admitted that his career wasn’t a walk in the park as he looked back on it. He recalled his career’s worst rejection in conversation with Bollywood Bubble, “At the beginning of my career there have been many. I was chucked out of a television show because I could not perform. Generally, I could not perform the character so I was being very respectfully checked out of the character from the series that this is not meant for you.”
“But I knew what it was, and I honestly confessed that I was nervous. After the point in time when I did a Telugu film that was a disaster, that was a super flop. I was outright rejected so that was again like I had doubts in myself whether I am at the right place in the right profession. Should I continue acting or give up? These were the questions uppermost in my mind. That was the phase when I had a few sleepless nights but besides that, by God’s days everything has been defined,” he further added.
Chengiz features Jeet alongwith Sushmita Chatterjee, Rohit Roy and Shataf Figar. It is set to hit the theaters on April 21. Jeet also has Manush and Boomerang scheduled for release.
