Abhimanyu Singh reveals how his role in 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya' brings a different kind of responsibility
Mumbai, July 17
Actor Abhimanyu Singh has opened up about his role in 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya' and the unique responsibility that comes with portraying the character.
The actor shared that the role brings a different set of challenges and requires a deeper understanding of the character's emotions and journey. Talking about his experience, Abhimanyu, who plays the role of a strict teacher in the film, shared, "I've played many intense and authoritative characters throughout my career, but portraying a strict teacher comes with a very different kind of responsibility. My character believes that discipline isn't about fear, it's about preparing students to face life with confidence, integrity, and resilience."
"He may come across as tough, but every decision he makes is driven by a genuine desire to bring out the best in his students. I think we've all had that one teacher we feared in school, only to realize later that they were the ones who shaped us the most. That's the essence of this character, and I hope audiences connect with it," he added.
Directed by Himank Gaur, the show also features Kay Kay Menon, Gyaneshwar Tripathi, Archana Puran Singh, Naveen Kasturia, Deven Bhojani, Prasanna Bisht, among others. The 7-episode show will premiere on July 24th, 2026, on Prime Video.
Kay Kay Menon, who is all set to play a laid-back headmaster in the upcoming series 'Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya,' which will premiere from July 24, says his character has many flaws but is also sharp, intuitive, and knows how to turn situations to his advantage.
Menon, who portrays the role of Gyaneshwar Tripathi in the series, shared, "Over the years, I have had the chance to play all kinds of characters-from intelligence officers and politicians to criminals-but I have never played a headmaster before."
"At the same time, there's a goodness to him that makes him very human. These different layers made the role so interesting for me. Bringing a character like Gyaneshwar to life would not have been possible without Himank's clarity and direction, along with the incredible support of my co-actors."
Speaking of Abhimanyu Singh, he is known for his role in the projects such as "Devara-Part 1," "Bachchhan Paandey," "The Kandahar Hijack," "Inspector Avinash," and "Khakee: The Bihar Chapter."

Kay Kay Menon as a headmaster? Now that's casting gold! The man can play anything from an intelligence officer to a politician, so a flawed but sharp headmaster should be interesting. Hope the writing matches the talent on screen.
Another show about school? Bollywood is really milking the nostalgia factor these days. But with Kay Kay Menon and Archana Puran Singh involved, maybe there's some real substance here. Let's see if it's worth the hype.
Abhimanyu Singh's point about discipline being about preparation, not fear, really resonates. In India, we've seen too many teachers who just terrorize students. A show that challenges that mindset is badly needed. 👏
Honestly, I'm getting tired of these OTT shows that promise "real stories" but end up being melodramatic. But the cast is solid - Kay Kay Menon, Deven Bhojani, Naveen Kasturia. That's a lineup that demands attention. Let's hope the 7 episodes justify the hype.
So refreshing to see content that celebrates the real heroes - teachers! Growing up in India, my strict math teacher was the reason I passed my board exams. This show might just be the tribute our educators deserve. Kudos to the team! 🌟
