KUNAL JAISWAL UNVEILS PRETKAAL, EXPLORING FAITH AND AMBITION

Insupernatural thriller Pretkaal, Kunal Jaiswal confronts morality, ambition, belief.

- MURTAZA ALI KHAN

When Kunal Jaiswal talks about life, success and faith, he doesn’t think in simple binaries. His upcoming project ‘Pretkaal’ is a supernatural thriller that grapples with that tension — the pull of worldly ambition versus the deeper, often unspoken, path of belief.

This moral stance isn’t rhetoric for Jaiswal — it is becoming the emotional backbone for bringing ‘Pretkaal’to life. As he puts it: “In pursuit ofsuccessand wealth, many people abandon the path of God and embrace the path of Satan. We should not stray from God's path, because walkingon the path of Satan may bring temporary pleasures, but ultimately, it comes at a great cost.”

Kunal's journey in storytelling began on the wooden boards of theatre in Ujjain. His early roles in produc: tions like ‘Tughlaq,’ ‘Lost Life,’ ‘Hum Tum sharpened not just his acting skills, but his sense of timing, space, and emotional stakes — elements that live or die in live performance. These formative years taught him to let silences and pauses speak — something he now applies in visual media.
