He was the funny landlord in Salaam Namaste. He tickles people's funny bones with his stand up acts in public and on television. Javed Jaffery has recently completed Richard Dreyfuss' film The Forest. It has been made with Ashwin Kumar (Little Terrorist fame).
The film is an interesting story of three people and a child. He has also had a chat with many filmmakers and might be seen in three or four good films very soon. His career in films took a dip, as the offers that came his way after Meri Jung in 1985 were not upto the mark. He impressed the audience with his work in Jajantaram Mamantaram and Boom. His work on television also has been limited and less.
Javed is planning to extend his work and wishes to direct a film in the near future. It is evident that the film will be very creative, as he had done the Maggi tomato ketchup commercials by himself with Pankaj Kapoor. That series of ads is still remembered. So we can say that the future is bright for Javed Jafffery.
