Ankesh Chandel

Ankesh Chandel’s name has been popping up a lot lately, and for good reason. He’s carved out a spot for himself in Bollywood with a mix of fresh energy and a knack for picking interesting projects. Take "Chhaava" (2025) for example—this one’s got people buzzing already, and it hasn’t even hit theaters yet. The hype’s mostly because Ankesh dives headfirst into roles that aren’t just cookie-cutter. He brings this intensity, a sort of raw edge that makes you sit up and actually pay attention. No phoning it in, you know? His work in "Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya" (2024) was another one that turned heads. The film kind of straddles that line between classic Bollywood romance and this quirky, modern twist. Ankesh manages to pull off the emotional highs and lows without getting cheesy—never easy, considering how melodramatic these scripts can get sometimes. He’s got this on-screen chemistry thing totally down, which probably explains why people keep rewatching his scenes. Then there’s "Maidaan" (2024), a sports drama that’s all about grit, determination, and those goosebump moments. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill underdog flick; it digs into real-life struggles and triumphs, and Ankesh fits right into that world. His performance carries a kind of authenticity—it doesn’t feel forced or over the top. Honestly, if you’re into movies that mix entertainment with a bit of heart and soul, his recent work’s worth checking out. Bollywood’s got a new player, and he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
