There are certain actors in Indian cinema who, whether not being in the lead character or not, become the soul of the film. That is exactly what has been accomplished in director Anurag Kashyap's latest release Nishanchi, where Vineet Kumar Singh gave a new identity to the film through his authoritative performance.

Though the cast includes debutee Aishwarya Thackeray and seasoned actors like Kumud Mishra and Zeeshan Ayyub, it will not be an overstatement to put Vineet Kumar Singh at the center of the film. His steady presence on screen is for a mere limited period, but by virtue of raw power, he makes the whole story reach an extraordinary height. The Story of 'Jabardast' Weaved in the Expanse of Acting

The biggest shock of the film is Vineet Kumar Singh playing Jabardast. He plays an ordinary wrestler whose dreams are destroyed by a conspiracy. Vineet brings out the pain and desperation of the character more so by his expressions and sly glances than by words. His performance is so powerful and effective that he becomes the emotional soul of the story.

He is not just a secondary artist but the pivot upon which the heart of the film turns. In Jabardast, his performance is tangible proof that excellent acting is something more than delivering dialogues—it is bringing the essence of the character to life. 

At each step of his journey, Vineet Kumar Singh has continued to remind us that he cannot be confined to a box. In Mukkabaaz, the physical and psychological transformation that he underwent to play a boxer remains a benchmark. In Chhava, his delicate interpretation of the ancient poet Kalash proved him to be an actor in all senses of the word. Even in movies such as Superboys of Malegaon and Rangeen, his work was a testament to his love for the art form.

Vineet's greatest asset is that there is no repetitiveness in his performances. He approaches each character with fresh energy and perspective and leaves his mark each time. It isn't excessive to say that with sheer toil and power of acting, he has carved a place for himself in the industry and deserves every bit of accolade that every gifted actor can dream of.
