 Shoojit Sircar’s Cinematic Journey: From Theatre with Manoj Bajpayee to Directing Abhishek Bachchan!

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Vinay Pathak and Rajat Kapoor, who reunite to talk about their new film ‘Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa’, a murder mystery directed by Rajat with Vinay in the lead. The conversation moves from the film’s unusual premise to their long creative bond built through theatre, films, and years of friendship.

The episode also dips into their journey after Bheja Fry, old audition stories, theatre rehearsals, unreleased films, and the madness of working together over the years. Funny, nostalgic, and wildly unpredictable, this is a classic Cyrus Says conversation with two of Indian cinema’s most loved collaborators.

To our new listeners, this is ‘Cyrus Says’, where old friends, great stories, and total chaos come together in the best way.

And to our regular ones, Welcome back!

Vinay Pathak and Rajat Kapoor on Theatre, Friendship & ‘Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa’ | Cyrus Says

What happens when you put two guys with too many opinions and not enough filters in a room together? You get this episode.

Cyrus is joined by comedian and corporate escapee Punit Pania, and from the jump, absolutely nothing is off-limits. Mumbai's train chaos, automatic doors that'll cook you alive, India's walkability crisis, and Puneet's bold 19-trains-instead-of-20 economic theory.

Then things get spicy. They dissect Samay Raina's unlikely glow-up, Ranveer Allahbadia's punchable energy, Kunal Kamra's legendary refusal to apologise, and the India-Pakistan peace talks nobody asked for but everyone has opinions about.

Also featuring: a heartfelt nod to the iconic Asha Bhosle, expired protein shakes, and an OnlyFans conversation that went exactly as far as you'd expect.

Punit's live in Gurugram on the 18th and Noida on the 19th go catch him before he pivots to railway ministry.
