Overview

  • In new interviews published Aug. 27, Gupta says he is “living [his] dream” as appreciation grows for his Netflix turn.
  • The July release features Vaani Kapoor leading a thriller on ritualistic killings linked to a secret society, with Gupta playing cop Vikram Singh alongside her investigator.
  • Gupta describes his path as a “game of patience,” choosing fewer projects to demonstrate range across drama and comedy.
  • Before wider recognition, he acted in short films and had small roles in Noor, Inside Edge, Good Bad Girl and Mai, with Gullak making him a household name.
  • Off screen, he writes poetry nightly and hopes to collaborate with Imtiaz Ali, Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap and Gullak director Amrit.
