“The first one was the best, for me,” he said, reminiscing about his role as the lovable, bumbling Manav. He added that the fourth film promises more fun and excitement, with shooting scheduled to start “early next year.”

In addition to his work on ‘Dhamaal 4’, Jaaferi will soon appear in the upcoming series ‘The Magic of Shiri’, alongside Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya.
