Priyanshu has been applauded for his role of an army officer in the movie, but do you know one of the most important factors on why he agreed to be a part of Rashmi Rocket? Read on!

Priyanshu shared, “My father is a Retired Col. Vinod Kumar Painyuli from Assam regiment. Growing up seeing your father serve the nation is always fascinating and inspiring. I grew up in Army school and definitely there was a wish to be in Army somewhere but I guess my love for cinema and acting took over but with Rashmi Rocket and playing the role of Capt. Gagan became very special. As it’s my first portrayal of an army officer. I sent my pics from my first look test in my uniform to my dad and family and my sisters thought I looked exactly liked my dad when he was a young captain.”
