Renowned Hindi film actor Pankaj Tripathi has been named the Rangdoot (brand ambassador) for the National School of Drama’s (NSD) prestigious theatre festival, Bharat Rang Mahotsav. With his roots deeply embedded in the arts and a profound association with NSD, this appointment is a momentous occasion in the history of the festival. Tripathi, known for his role in Mirzapur, expressed, “I have been performing plays since the first year of Bharat Rang Mahotsav.
I remember the first time I performed in Delhi, and it was written about. However, apart from 200-400 people, not many are aware of these plays. We will do our best to ensure that now, with Bharat Rang Mahotsav being organized in 12 cities, not only theatre artistes but also the public attends this festival. In cities like Patna, people are not aware of where they can watch the plays or how to join. My attempt will be to spread more awareness about this festival and be available for it.”
The 25th edition of Bharat Rang Mahotsav is set to unfold in 12 cities starting from February 1, promising an array of over 150 performances, workshops, masterclasses, and discussions for theatre enthusiasts.
