Who is Aryan Kumar? The latest outsider to enter Bollywood with 'Nafratein'

Actor Aryan Kumar is preparing to step into the film industry with his first feature Nafratein, which is scheduled to hit cinemas on June 27, 2025. The makers have recently unveiled the film’s poster and trailer, both of which sparked initial reactions online and gave audiences a glimpse into the project’s tone and direction.

Nafratein follows a character played by Aryan who appears to be navigating violence, emotional shifts, and a significant personal transformation following a romantic turn in his life. The trailer hints at themes of conflict, internal change, and a mix of action with personal stakes.

Aryan Kumar, while speaking about the project, said he feels fortunate to be chosen for the role and to have been entrusted with a character that carries both physical and emotional weight. He acknowledged the production team’s faith in his ability to handle the demands of such a role.

Reflecting on his time during the filming process, Aryan shared that the experience was filled with constant learning. According to him, each day on set offered a new perspective, helping him understand the many moving parts behind a film's development. He also noted the effort that went into making Nafratein, saying the team approached the shoot with focus and consistency.

Directed by Joy Bhattacharjee and produced by Mahendra Dhariwal, the film marks a new collaboration among relatively fresh and seasoned names in the industry. Music for the film has been composed by Sanjeev Chaturvedi. The creators of Nafratein are banking on its balance of intense storytelling and visual momentum to reach viewers in theatres.

With the release date now confirmed and promotional material beginning to circulate, the production is entering its final phase. Audiences will now wait to see how Aryan Kumar’s on-screen introduction unfolds when Nafratein releases across cinemas next summer.
