Ishwak Singh on Made in Heaven, Paatal Lok & His Unexpected Dating Upgrade

Before Ishwak Singh became Imran Ansari in Paatal Lok and Dr Vikram Sarabhai in Rocket Boys, he was an architect designing schools, hotels and even his own house. He was also doing unpaid theatre in Delhi and appearing in film montages that his own friends struggled to spot.

In this episode of Cyrus Says, Ishwak talks about leaving architecture for acting, his blink-and-miss appearances in Raanjhanaa and Tamasha, learning from Manoj Bajpayee on Aligarh and finally finding his breakthrough with Paatal Lok.

He also reveals how Made in Heaven changed his dating life, teaches Cyrus some sign language from Berlin, discusses playing Taapsee Pannu’s husband in Gandhari and shares details about his upcoming projects, including the film during which he fractured his foot.

Expect architecture, Delhi fights, dating apps, martial arts, Cyrus’s questionable sign language and a particularly chaotic round of Cyrus Lies.
