Where did the character of ‘Kachra Seth’ come from?
Manoj Joshi played the role of ‘Kachra Seth’ in the 2006 film ‘Phir Hera Pheri’ and his dialogue, ‘Dedh Sau Rupee Dega’ is still the favorite dialogue of the audience, but where did the character of ‘Kachra Seth’ come from? The character of ‘Kachra Seth’ was created after being inspired by Manoj Joshi’s height and his play.
Actually, before getting ‘Phir Hera Pheri’, Manoj Sinha was doing a play, when the late director and actor’s friend Neeraj Vora had come to watch his play.

First of all, the actor’s glasses and teeth were changed and he was made to wear kurta-pajama for his dressing sense, but his accent was kept the same as his first character on stage. In an interview, Manoj Joshi had told that this character remained iconic for him from the year 2006 to 2024, because his character became so famous that even today memes are being made on social media.
