He did a great job in Rangeela as a defiitive tappori. I found his
scenes in Rangeela were the funniest and honestly feel the
film industry has been deprived of a great actor.
Here is the report from Indian Express (SCREEN):
Rajesh (Pakya) Joshi dies in mishap
Rajesh Joshi (29), popularly known as Pakya of Rangeela fame died on
January 11 following a road accident. He is survived by his wife
Falguni. According to family sources, Rajesh was on his way to attend a
function when his car hit another vehicle on Veer Savarkar Marg and was
severely injured. He was admitted to Hinduja Hospital where he succumbed
to his injuries.
Besides playing a black-marketeer in Rangeela, Rajesh also acted in
Guddu Danoa’s Aflatoon. His other films include Kundan Shah’s Loveria
and John Matthew Matthan’s Sarfarosh.
