Pankaj Tripathi and his wife Mridula’s maiden theatre production Lailaaj, a musical comedy play under their banner Roopkatha Rangmanch, has been officially selected to be showcased at Bharat Rang Mahotsav, India’s largest and most prestigious theatre festival, hosted by the National School of Drama (NSD), Delhi. Now in its landmark 25th year, the iconic festival will be held across January and February, beginning in the last week of January, bringing together celebrated theatre productions from across India and the world.
Written and directed by Faiz Mohammed Khan, Lailaaj holds special significance for the Tripathi family.
Expressing his emotions, Pankaj Tripathi shared in a heartfelt note, “Bharat Rang Mahotsav holds a very special place in the world of Indian theatre, and to have Lailaaj selected for its 25th edition is truly humbling. Theatre is where my roots lie, and NSD has always represented discipline, honesty, and deep respect for the craft. To bring our very first production under Roopkatha Rangmanch to a platform like this feels like a full-circle moment. Lailaaj is a simple, musical, and heartfelt story, but behind it is the hard work of many people who believe in theatre as a living, breathing art form. Sharing this stage with my daughter Aashi adds an emotional layer that I will always cherish. I see this not just as a performance, but as an offering to the theatre community that shaped me.”
With its selection at Bharat Rang Mahotsav, Lailaaj takes an important step forward in its theatrical journey.
