Jitendra, who was recently seen in the third season of 'Kota Factory', discussed his journey in the podcast 'The Longest Interview' on Audible.
Talking about how his interest in films developed, Jeetendra said: "My interest in films developed when I was in Kota. I studied for 20 days and spent whole nights in cyber cafes with the shutters down. Then I found a website which had movies from 1958 to 2008. So, in IIT, I watched all types of Bollywood movies.
Talking about some of the cinematic masterpieces that have left an indelible mark on his life, Jeetendra, who is best known for his work in 'Panchayat', said: "'Sholay', 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' , 'Satya' and 'Gangs of Wasseypur' are four such films which have given a new definition to every decade of Indian cinema. The films made after the release of 'Sholay' were different.
"The release of 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' marked the beginning of the romance era. The film 'Satya' produced more realistic content, after which new talent started emerging and 'Gangs of Wasseypur' made it a household name. A new style of content and filmmaking,” said Jeetendra.
Jitendra also spoke about his love for cricket, "All my favorite cricketers of that time, Kumble, Khan, Vettori, Gayle, Kohli, AB de Villiers and I enjoyed watching them play. That's why I loved that team. "Liked it the best." The most exciting.”
The third season of 'Kota Factory' is directed by Pratish Mehta and produced by TVF Productions, starring Raghav Subbu in the lead role.
It stars Tillotama Shome, Mayur More, Ranjan Raj, Alam Khan, Revathi Pillai, Ahsaas Channa and Rajesh Kumar.
