Pankaj Tripathi and Amit Rai Reunite for a Powerful Human Drama

Following the critical acclaim and box office triumph of OMG 2, actor Pankaj Tripathi and writer-director Amit Rai are teaming up once again for an emotionally rich and socially resonant human drama. The yet-to-be-titled film has officially gone on floors, promising to deliver another impactful narrative grounded in reality and human connection.

The shoot, which will unfold over a span of 35 days, is set in Bihar and aims to authentically capture the state’s essence, culture, and untold stories. Alongside Pankaj Tripathi, the film will feature an ensemble cast including seasoned actors Pawan Malhotra, Geeta Agarwal, and Rajesh Kumar, as well as several celebrated talents from the Bhojpuri film industry—bringing together national and regional cinema in a seamless blend.

Pankaj Tripathi, who hails from Bihar, expressed his enthusiasm about returning to his roots with this film. “OMG 2 was a very special film for me—not just because it was my first solo 180-crore box office success, but because it resonated with people on a deeply human level,” he said. “Working with Amit again feels natural. His stories have soul and honesty. This film, rooted in the soil of Bihar, is close to my heart and identity. There’s nothing more fulfilling than being part of a narrative that entertains and enlightens.”
