Actor Raghubir Yadav, gearing up for the release of his forthcoming film "Blackboard vs Whiteboard", says he does not believe in the term called ‘character actor in films. Raghubir has been a part of some critically acclaimed films like "Lagaan", "Peepli Live", "Piku", "Bandit Queen", "Dil Se..', "Newton" and "Sui Dhaaga". Asked whether character actors are getting importance in content driven films in recent times, he said: "I don't believe in term called character actor. I feel all actors should be treated equally whether he does a big role or a small role in a film. If you remove a small character from a certain film, then the larger character of that film will not be able to carry an entire film on his own."

He said a film is a collaborative effort. "I don't know why people put actors in character actor category. If your character doesn't have certain characteristics, then how are you doing a certain role? Whether it's a small role or a big role, each character has its own characteristics which he brings on-screen."
