Bollywood actor Rajniesh Duggal is set to play Physics Wallah teacher Pankaj Sijairya in an upcoming biopic. Duggal shared the news during an Instagram Live session with Sijairya, revealing that the project is currently in development.
Rajniesh Duggal Biopic on Pankaj Sijairya Announced
The film has already been written and will be directed by James A., who was one of Sijairya's students. During the Instagram Live conversation, Duggal told Sijairya about the project and explained the personal connection behind it.
Duggal said, "I have a very interesting surprise for you, Pankaj sir. One of your students has actually written the film and asked me if I would like to play your role in it. So I said 100% that if there is something like this, I would absolutely want to."
Duggal Confirms He Has Read the Script
The actor also revealed that he had recently finished reading the script for the biopic. This suggests the project is moving forward, with Duggal already familiar with the story and the character he is set to portray.
The announcement highlights the strong bond between Sijairya and his students — one of them has now taken the step of bringing his teacher's story to the big screen.
Our Take: A Fitting Tribute to an Educator
To put it plainly, this biopic is a meaningful tribute from a student to a teacher. It is rare to see an educator's journey get the cinematic treatment, and even rarer when the filmmaker is someone who personally learned from the subject.
For fans of Physics Wallah and online education, this film could offer a closer look at the man behind the lessons. For Rajniesh Duggal, it is a chance to step into the shoes of a real-life figure who has influenced thousands of students. The fact that Duggal said yes so quickly shows the respect he has for the story — and for the teacher at its center.
We will be watching for more updates on casting, production, and a release date as the project develops.
