Theatre roots shaped Priyanshu Painyuli’s approach to performance

Before being seen in projects such as Bhavesh Joshi Superhero, Mirzapur and Extraction, Priyanshu Painyuli says his creative grounding came from theatre. He explains that his early years were shaped by stage performances, where acting first became a serious pursuit.
