Durgesh Kumar Bio

Durgesh Kumar is a movie star in Bollywood. He comes from the country of Bihar. He was in the Repertory Company, but he loved acting so much that he later joined the National School of Drama (NSD) to improve his skills. He spent 13 years at the National School of Drama. Then he moved to Mumbai and tried out for many roles there. When he moved to Mumbai to become an actor or actress, life wasn’t easy for him. This is true for many people who move to Mumbai with the same goal. Like strugglers, Durgesh Kumar also struggled, but never gave up.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui was a big influence on him. One day, Mukesh Sir asked him to audition for “Highway.” After the auditions, he was chosen for “Highway,” but he had to learn how to dance and start going to the gym to get fit. Durgesh didn’t mind the idea of dancing because he didn’t know how to dance, and he didn’t want to go to the gym because he couldn’t do anything to get fit in front of Randeep Hooda, the main hero of “Highway.” So he thought he didn’t need to change. He has made two movies so far. His first movie was with a well-known Bollywood director. It was called “Highway.” Sajid Nadiadwala and Imtiaz Ali worked together to make The Highway.

Randeep Hooda, Alia Bhatt, Pradeep Nagar, Hemant Mahaur, and many others, as well as Durgesh Kumar, were all stars in the movie. The movie came out on February 13, 2014, in Berlin. On February 20, 2014, it came out in the UAE, and on February 21, 2014, it came out in India. Durgesh played a bad person in the movie. In the movie, he helped Mahabir (Randeep Hooda) see how talented he was and how much he could do. The critics didn’t love or hate the movie. The movie is a lot of fun for people who like to travel. This movie also showed many important real-life situations that we all face every day.

Durgesh Kumar’s second film was a collection of eight short films with the same idea: they all had a break. Imtiaz Ali, Vikash Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane, and Anand Gandhi did a great job directing and putting it all together. The movie was ‘Shuruaat Ka Interval’ directed by Aarti S Badgi, Amrit Raj Gupta, Krishan Hooda, Shishir Jha, Atanu Mukherjee, Rukhsana Tabassum, Ankit Tripathi, and Palash Vaswani. Along with Durgesh, the movie’s other stars included Avant Bhagat, Brahma, Kaivalya Chheda, Ayesha Jaleel, Sarosh Master, Mukul Chadda, Ram Menon, Raj, and many more. The movie came out on August 15, 2014, and people had different things to say about it.

The Mumbai Mirror’s Rahul Desai gave this movie three out of five stars and said, “This film reminded us that there is a small world where we can dream, and that it’s not against the law to do so, and that making movies is an art, not a business.” “Take advantage of this while you can.” Durgesh Kumar worked hard and did his part of the job well. He cares a lot about what he does and always will.
