Kay Kay Menon: Acting is more about restraint than exposition

Prime Video’s upcoming show, Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya , brings forth a wave of nostalgia. Set in a fictional government school in Delhi, it features a laid-back headmaster, Gyaneshwar Tripathi, played by Kay Kay Menon , who tries to add order to its dysfunctionality. With a strict Hindi teacher feared by all, a Maths expert told to conduct Physics classes, and students creating problems for all, the show exhibits an alluring familiarity. That’s what attracted Kay Kay Menon to its world. Reminiscing about his school days, the actor says that he was drawn to science as a child. “I loved Physics, so later I did my graduation in that,” he says.
