Captioning the post, “Kisi ne mujhe kiya con! Mere baalon ko kiya gone! Kya hoga mera karma, Decide karega dharma. @karanjohar kjo what say?” Maniesh left just enough clues to spark intrigue while keeping the project under wraps.

While the exact details of the look remain undisclosed, the transformation hints at a possibly gritty, darker role, maybe even a villain? The image is a stark contrast to his previous appearances, including his role in the web series Rafuchakkar, where he took on five dramatically different looks.

Adding to that is his role in Jugjugg Jeeyo, where Maniesh appeared alongside an ensemble cast, balancing comic and emotional moments.

The actor has recently wrapped filming for Shashank Khaitan’s Sunny Sankari Ki Tulsi Kumari, a romantic comedy backed by Dharma Productions. Up next, he’ll be seen in David Dhawan’s Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, sharing screen space with Varun Dhawan in what promises to be a classic commercial riot.

Maniesh has built a diverse career across hosting, performing, and acting, often taking on unconventional roles. If Rafuchakkar and Jugjugg Jeeyo are any indication, this latest look could signal the start of another significant shift in his on-screen journey.

Whether this is a glimpse of an upcoming film, a digital thriller, or something entirely different, one thing’s clear: Maniesh Paul is keeping the details under wraps and sparking curiosity.
