NAMIT DAS IS HAPPY WITH THE REVIVAL OF THEATRE POST LOCKDOWN

MUMBAI: Namit Das recently performed on the 10th anniversary of the play ‘Stories In A Song’ at Prithvi Theatre in the city, and the experience sent him down memory lane. “I dived into theatre when I was in college and was immediately captivated by the world of artistes. I had often watched plays in Prithvi Theatre so the first time that I went backstage it hit me that the roles had reversed. I felt like I belonged there and acting became a constant since then,” he reminisced while speaking to IANS. Namit, who has had a stint on stage before foraying the screen, is glad that the world of theatre is seeing a revival after the lockdown lull of last year. “It has been a challenging year for theatre and I am glad that the cultural pulse of the entertainment industry has been resuscitated. Prithvi Theatre has honed the art and been a school to the greats in the industry. Performing live on the 10th anniversary of ‘Stories In A Song’ is truly special,” he said.  

Namit has been a part of Bollywood projects such as ‘Wake Up Sid’, ‘Sui Dhaaga’, ‘Patakha’, and the digitally-released film ‘A Suitable Boy’. He made his mark last year with his roles in the web series ‘Aarya’and ‘Mafia’.
