Thamma's Betaal Veeran Rachit Singh Shares 10-Year Acting Journey

In November 2025, Rachit Singh, who played the menacing Betaal Veeran in the recent Maddock Films release Thamma, revealed the details of his 10-year journey to his big break. Despite working as an acting coach for stars like Aneet Padda and Shanaya Kapoor during this time, Rachit had to wait a decade before landing his first major acting role.

Reflecting on those 10 years, Rachit shared that he was constantly working to hone his craft, assisting directors, attending workshops, and giving acting lessons. Though he was not expecting to be part of such a high-profile project as Thamma, Rachit's dedication paid off when he was cast in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe film.

To embody the monstrous Veeran, Rachit underwent an intense 9-month body transformation, bulking up with muscles and abs as per the directors' vision. His co-stars, including Ayushmann Khurrana, Rashmika Mandanna, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, were welcoming and supportive, helping ease Rachit's nerves as a newcomer.

With the success of Thamma, Rachit is hopeful that he will continue to be a part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, as his Betaal character can easily feature in future installments. Rachit's inspiring journey from acting coach to leading man is a testament to the power of perseverance in the film industry.
