POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Tomorrow, our show BANDWAALE releases on Amazon Prime Video.

Directed by Akshat Verma, and created and written by @ankurtewari and @swanandkirkire , this is a project built on original thought, music, heart, and a lot of belief.

I play Laddu in the series — a character I’ve had the privilege of living with for a while now. I’m deeply grateful to @tessjoseph19 and @tessjosephcasting team for casting me and trusting me with this part. Thank you to @move_over.by.oml for making this journey such a creatively satisfying one for me as an actor.

I also want to acknowledge the incredible senior cast I had the chance to work alongside. Their spirit, generosity, and constant support on set inspired me every single day. It’s rare and special to feel that kind of collaborative energy.

In a time when original writing and long-form storytelling often need an extra push to cut through the clutter of quick reels and scrolling, shows like this survive on word of mouth and genuine support.

If you can, please take the time to watch BANDWAALE on @primevideoin . It would truly mean a lot to me.

13:11 — Directing Ankur
20:01 — Creating Nishant
24:22 — Smita Patil and Bhumika
26:46 — Manthan and cooperatives
30:18 — Directorial style

56:01 — Television and Bharat
58:18 — Yatra and storytelling
1:03:48 — Zubeidaa and later works

Or, of course, begin at 0:00 and take the entire journey.
