Fans of the iconic Akbar Birbal TV show are in for some exciting news. Actress Delnaaz Irani is bringing the magic back, but with a twist—it’s now a play titled #Akbar@Birbal. Sharing the stage with veteran Paritosh Painter, Delnaaz couldn’t be more thrilled about this project.
The original cast from the TV show is back, making this adaptation extra special. With Ali Azgar, Vishal Kotian as Birbal, and Pavan reprising their roles, nostalgia is baked into every scene. Delnaaz herself is set to play Rani, a role she has clearly embraced with joy and pride.
Delnaaz credits Paritosh Painter, a close friend and acclaimed theater personality, for kickstarting the idea. The moment he approached her with the project, she didn’t think twice before jumping on board. The chemistry between the team is poised to bring their iconic dynamics to life on stage.
For Delnaaz, the stage holds a deep, sentimental value. She describes theater as her “first love” and a pure expression of her craft. Performing live, she says, allows her to truly connect with her audience in a way that no other medium can.
With more than three decades of experience in Hindi, English, and Gujarati theater under her belt, Delnaaz feels this new venture is a beautiful addition to her career. It’s been a non-stop ride for her, and she isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
If you’ve missed the old charm of Akbar Birbal, #Akbar@Birbal promises to deliver laughter, nostalgia, and timeless stories. This play might just be your next must-watch!
