Jitendra Kumar, or Jeetu bhaiyya as his fans address him, is having a dream run. After wowing the audience with the second season of Kota Factory last year, he kicked off 2022 by slipping into the world of the much-loved Panchayat. Now, the actor is headlining the Netflix film, Jaadugar, which revolves around a magician who has to win a local football tournament to woo his ladylove. Given Kumar’s wide popularity, it isn’t surprising that the film’s trailer soon became a talking point on the Internet. “It is a dream come true for any actor to be showered with so much affection from the audience. I credit my entire journey to the audience’s unshakeable faith in me and my work. I have tried my best to [bring alive] the enigma of a jaadugar in my next,” smiles the actor.
