While he's long been celebrated for his unique brand of comedy, Yadav's body of work spans a range of genres, including negative roles and now, high-octane action. Expressing his gratitude, the actor said, “I have an internal love and appreciation for Mid-Day and a bonding I share with them—like they are my family. And today, by recognising my worth beyond 'comedy is a serious business,' they have reinstated my faith in them.”
