As NSD batchmates, Mishra admitted he absorbed techniques simply by watching Irrfan work—mastering subtlety, emotional depth, and presence on screen.[1][4] This heartfelt moment unfolded amid hype for *Vadh 2*, the sequel starring Mishra alongside Neena Gupta, set for a theatrical release on February 6.[1] In exclusive interviews, Mishra and Gupta discussed carrying lead roles without age barriers, the importance of sequels, and craft essentials like listening to co-actors and drawing from personal memories.[2] Director Jaspal Singh Sandhu praised Mishra's layered portrayal, emphasizing a script-driven casting process with room for strong pre-production and subtle improvisation.[3] *Vadh 2* premiered at IFFI 2025, celebrating its character-driven narrative that builds on the original's intensity.[5] Mishra's tribute not only honors Irrfan's legacy but reminds us why Bollywood's unsung heroes like him continue to inspire.
