Ravi Kishan remembers late Mukul Dev at the trailer launch of Son of Sardaar 2, urges fans to watch the film for him
Kubra Sait, who also plays a key role in the film, fondly recalled her memories with Mukul on set. 'On the set, Mukul sir used to be the first one coming. He was a very old friend of mine, and in fact, I used to love pulling his leg. In fact, all of us and the director (Vijay Arora) used to pull his leg by saying, 'Mukul, you are here finally.' So truly, we all are missing him a lot.'

For those unaware, Mukul Dev was reportedly battling severe loneliness in his final days. The loss of his parents had taken a heavy toll on him, and he deeply missed his daughter. Just days after his passing, his elder brother, Rahul Dev, opened up about his condition. 'He was in the ICU for eight and a half days. Medically, it was a result of poor eating habits. In the last four-five days, he had stopped eating altogether. Of course, he felt lonely and lost interest in life. Usko zindagi jeene ka jazba nahi tha… (he didn't have the willingness to live),' Rahul said.
Mukul Dev was part of several acclaimed Hindi and Punjabi films. His comic role in Son of Sardaar remains a fan favorite. Not many know that he also ventured into screenwriting, he wrote the script for Hansal Mehta's critically acclaimed film Omerta.

Sanjay Mishra finds new passion for theatre, plans to continue stage performances after Ghasiram Kotwal
will portray Nana Phadnavis, an influential figure from the Peshwa period, in the Hindi version of the famous Marathi play 'Ghasiram Kotwal'. Directed by and Bhalachandra Kubal, the production is set to debut on August 14, 2025. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Reflections on returning to theatre Talking to Free Press Journal, Mishra candidly discussed his return to theatre after years of working in films. He expressed that he is reliving the theatre life once again, mentioning how they sit on the floor for hours, watching each other's performances while enjoying vada pav and chai, feeling a raw joy. He pointed out that in films, once a shot is done, actors disappear into their vanity vans, surrounded by hierarchies and egos. However, in theatre, everyone is equal and together. Film versus stage—Mishra's perspective When questioned about the contrast between acting in films and theatre, the veteran actor highlighted that films are very technical, with many lenses that capture your expressions and convey them to the audience. In theatre, only the actor is present, fully exposed, and responsible for reaching each member of the audience personally. For him, theatre is a return to purity where the actor's craft alone must engage the audience without the support of technology or post-production. After performing in Ghasiram Kotwal, he feels inspired to pursue more theatre, enjoying this phase once again and intending to continue with it. Theatre roots and renewed connection Mishra, known for his great work in films like 'Masaan', 'Ankhon Dekhi' and 'Vadh', started his career in theatre. He studied at the National School of Drama (NSD) and spent his early years acting in plays. Now, with Ghasiram Kotwal, he is going back to his roots and enjoying the close connection that theatre offers.
