Inspired by Pankaj Tripathi, the young theatre actor from Gopalganj shares screen space with Ayushmann Khurrana
Mumbai/ Gopalganj, Bihar: A new talent from rural Bihar is steadily finding his place in the world of Indian cinema. Rajveer Singh, a theatre artist from Devapur village in Barauli block of Gopalganj district, has begun attracting attention after appearing alongside Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana in the recently released comedy film Pati Patni Aur Woh Do.
Coming from a culturally rich region that has already produced acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi — whom Rajveer considers his inspiration — the young performer is now carving out his own identity in the entertainment industry.
Released in May 2026, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is a Bollywood comedy-drama featuring Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Wamiqa Gabbi in lead roles. Rajveer Singh appears in the film as Forest Inspector Mahesh Nigam. Though his role is relatively brief, his performance has drawn appreciation for its natural screen presence and theatrical depth.
Rajveer, son of Ajay Singh from a respected family in Devapur village, said working alongside established Bollywood actors itself is a major achievement for theatre performers like him.
Speaking to The Janpath, he shared that he has been associated with theatre for the past six years and has previously acted in the SonyLiv web series Garmi as well as two short films. He revealed that he was cast for the film through Mumbai-based “Anti Casting” company and is currently working on an upcoming horror project slated for release on Netflix.
His success has generated excitement across Devapur and nearby areas, where residents are celebrating the rise of a local artist on the national screen. In Gopalganj district, Rajveer’s journey is increasingly being seen as an inspiring example of how talent from small towns and villages can break into mainstream cinema through dedication and persistence.
Rajveer Singh’s story reflects a larger shift in Indian entertainment, where theatre artists and performers from non-metropolitan backgrounds are gaining recognition for their authenticity and craft. From the stage to the silver screen, his journey signals the emergence of a new generation of actors rooted in realism and regional identity.
