Pankaj Tripathi is set to make a much-awaited return to theatre after a gap of 12 years with the musical comedy stage play Lailaaj in a cameo. The play, produced under his home production banner Roopkatha Rangmanch, will also feature their daughter Aashi, who made her stage debut last year.

The show is produced by Mridula Tripathi and co-produced by Pankaj Tripathi, written and directed by acclaimed theatre practitioner Faiz Mohammed Khan. Lailaaj is scheduled to open on 8th February at Rangsharda, Mumbai. The play blends music, humour, and emotional storytelling, staying rooted in the rich traditions of Indian theatre while offering a contemporary sensibility. For Pankaj Tripathi, the project is a heartfelt homecoming.
