Priyanshu Painyuli wraps up Paan Parda Zarda, calls it his biggest role yet

Actor Priyanshu Painyuli has wrapped up the final leg of work on his upcoming gangster drama Paan Parda Zarda. This series also features Mona Singh and Tanya Maniktala in lead roles.
Set against the gritty backdrop of the criminal underworld, Paan Parda Zarda promises a gripping narrative packed with layered characters, emotional complexity, and high-octane drama. For Priyanshu, best known for his roles in Extraction and Mirzapur, the series represents a major career leap.
“Working on Paan Parda Zarda has been a creatively fulfilling journey,” Priyanshu shared. “It comes from the team behind Mirzapur, and in many ways, it feels like a natural progression. This is undoubtedly the biggest role of my career so far—both in terms of scope and depth.”
The actor, who earlier portrayed Robin in Mirzapur, reunites with director Gurmeet Singh for this new venture. “Robin was a memorable character, and Gurmeet had directed that as well. But Paan Parda Zarda is a completely new world—grittier, darker, and more immersive. The writing is rich and intense. I truly believe audiences will connect with it,” he added.
