Karnal’s Vikramjeet Virk shines in hit vertical drama Raja Sahab Returns
Family thriller on Kuku TV clocks over 10 million views after release
Karnal’s Vikramjeet Virk will now be seen in a vertical drama as he played the lead role in Raja Sahab Returns, a 90-minute mini-drama packed with family emotions, revenge, mystery and tragedy.
Released on Kuku TV, the series has already crossed 10 million views, indicating the growing taste for short series.
Born in Tharwa Majra village in the district, Virk grew up loving modelling and cricket before finding his calling in cinema.
“It was a wonderful experience working in a vertical drama series for the first time. People love this short duration drama and I am thankful for their response,” Virk shared. The vertical screen, designed for mobile viewing, is becoming a trend and Virk’s performance has placed him at the forefront of this shift.
Virk’s cinema career spans multiple languages. In Punjabi cinema, he has played key roles in films like Maurh, Mera Baba Nanak, Ek Sandhu Hunda Si and many others. His South Indian ventures include Telugu hits such as Heart Attack, Paisa Vasool, Agent and many others. In Hindi, he had worked along with Sushant Singh Rajput in Drive, and appeared in Karma Calling, Khele Hum Ji Jaan Se, and historical dramas like Sobha Somnath Ki (2011) and Mahadev (2015).
His multilingual journey reflects his adaptability and passion for storytelling. Whether in mythological sagas, action thrillers or family drama, Virk has consistently brought depth to his characters, earning recognition across regional and national platforms.
“Raja Sahab Returns is more than just a personal milestone, but it represents the rise of mini dramas in our country,” he added.
Virk went to Mumbai for modelling in 2007-08 and made his acting debut in 2011 in Sobha Somnath Ki TV serial, in which he played the key role of Mahmood Ghaznavi.
