Mumbai, May 2025: Sony SAB’s Pushpa Impossible continues to resonate with viewers across generations through its heartfelt and relatable storytelling. Adding a new dimension to the show’s engaging narrative, acclaimed actor Gaurav Chopra has made a remarkable return to television after a five-year hiatus. He steps into the impactful role of Professor Rajveer Shastri, a character layered with intellect, intensity, and emotional depth.
Professor Rajveer Shastri is depicted as a sharp, cynical law professor known for his powerful courtroom presence and fierce advocacy. Once a rising star in the legal world, a scandal derailed his promising career, leaving deep personal and professional scars. To do justice to such a multifaceted role, Gaurav Chopra underwent a significant physical transformation, including growing out his hair to reflect the brooding, weathered, and intense persona of Rajveer.
Speaking about the transformation, Gaurav shared, “When I was approached for the role of Professor Rajveer Shastri in Pushpa Impossible, I instantly knew this wasn’t just another character—it was a man with a story that needed to be told with raw honesty. Rajveer is not your typical television hero; he’s warrior, layered, wounded, yet fiercely intelligent. Portraying someone like him required more than just learning lines—it demanded a transformation in every sense. One of the first things I decided to do was grow my hair. It might sound like a small detail, but I believe appearances speak volumes, especially on screen. Rajveer’s look had to echo his emotional state—unconventional, intense, and weathered by life. The longer hair gave him a rugged edge, a sense of rebellion against the world that wronged him, and a quiet strength. It helped me internalize his pain, his cynicism, and his need for redemption.”
Tune in to watch Pushpa Impossible from Monday to Saturday at 9 PM on Sony SAB
