As an ardent admirer of Vijay Varma’s mesmerizing performances, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe and admiration for his journey from Bharat Tyagi to Captain Devi Sharan. His transformation is not just about roles; it’s about growth, evolution, and pushing the boundaries of his acting prowess.


Recently, Vijay Varma has been delivering one successful project after another. This talented actor, known for his roles in Pink and Gully Boy, has also made a big impact on streaming platforms with his compelling performances in various projects. In a recent conversation, the accomplished actor reflected on his career progression, from portraying Bharat Tyagi in Mirzapur and leading the show, to starring as Captain Devi Sharan in IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack. For him, this journey has felt remarkably surreal.

The ace actor who worked hard to reach the top expressed his gratitude for being able to play varied characters in his film career. Reacting to the positive response his recently released crime thriller drama television miniseries, IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack received, Vijay Varma said it’s overwhelming and humbling. As he reflected on his career, the actor stated that the shift from playing Bharat Tyagi (Mirzapur) to Captain Devi Sharan in (IC 814) feels “surreal and rewarding.”

In my perspective, a character isn’t merely about assigned roles; it’s an opportunity for personal growth and transformation. Speaking from experience, portraying Captain Devi Sharan in the hijack movie was both testing and enlightening, stretching my boundaries. I am heartened to see that this character has resonated not only with viewers but also with critics, making the journey all the more rewarding.

Just now, I excitedly posted two snapshots on my Instagram account. The first image features me donning a smart outfit as the character of IC 814. In the second screenshot, it’s shared that from September 2nd to 8th, our limited series has been the most-watched streaming original in India. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this amazing production!
