Who is Lalit Prabhakar? Meet the National Award-winning actor playing Ajmal Kasab in Prahaar

The trailer of Rajkummar Rao's much-awaited Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story is out, and while Rao impresses as special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam, it is the final reveal that has everyone talking. The actor unrecognisable as Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, is none other than Lalit Prabhakar. The trailer was launched on September 29 at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), one of the sites targeted during the 2008 attacks. Since then, fans have been curious to know more about the actor behind the striking transformation. Lalit Prabhakar As Ajmal Kasab In Prahaar Lalit bagged the role of Kasab after auditioning for it. For the part, the actor went far beyond a physical makeover, studying Kasab's psychology, language and body language to bring the real-life figure to the screen. The role marks one of the most daring choices of his career, and a striking departure from the characters audiences have come to associate him with. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lalit Prabhakar (@lalit.prabhakar) Who Is Lalit Prabhakar? Lalit Prabhakar is one of Marathi cinema's most accomplished actors. Born in Kalyan, Maharashtra, he began his journey in experimental theatre and was among around thirty artists in India selected for the Ministry of Culture's Young Artiste Scholarship. He rose to fame with the Zee Marathi show Julun Yeti Reshimgathi, which won him the Best Actor award at the Zee Marathi Awards. He made his film debut with Paresh Mokashi's Chi Va Chi Sau Ka (2017), which earned him the Maharashtra State Film Award for Best Debut Actor. Critically acclaimed across platforms: Lalit's biggest milestone came with Sameer Vidwans' Anandi Gopal (2019), in which he played Gopalrao Joshi, the progressive husband of Anandibai Joshi, one of India's first women physicians. The film won two National Awards, and Lalit's performance earned him the Filmfare Marathi Best Actor (Critics) award, Best Actor at the Pune International Film Festival and Best Actor at the Zee Chitra Gaurav Puraskar. The accolades have only continued. In 2026, he received a Jury Special Mention at the Pune International Film Festival for Toh Ti Ani Fuji, an India-Japan romance that also drew international attention. Lalit Prabhakar's Versatility Across Genres: Over the years, Lalit has built a reputation for never repeating himself. He has played a charming romantic in Hampi, taken on a double role in the horror-comedy Zombivli, and won praise for slice-of-life dramas like Medium Spicy and Sunny. He has also backed films that reflect contemporary lives and relationships. Super Duperr (2026), a family comedy-drama about two households forced to share one home, was loved by critics and audiences alike. Aarpar (2025), an intense love story, fetched him a Filmfare Marathi Best Actor nomination and the Zee Chitra Gaurav award for Best Jodi with Hruta Durgule. On OTT, he has featured in popular series such as Shantit Kranti, Pet Puraan and The Raikar Case. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hruta Durgule (@hruta12) Lalit is effortlessly taking up challenging roles, especially real-life characters. After Gopalrao Joshi in Anandi Gopal and Ajmal Kasab in Prahaar, he will next be seen as Dalit Panther co-founder and Padma Shri poet Namdeo Dhasal in the biopic Dhasal. The film features music by Ilaiyaraaja, and his first look as Dhasal, crafted by veteran make-up artist Shrikant Desai, has already created a buzz. Having created his mark with impressive work in the Marathi industry, Lalit is now broadening his horizons by stepping into Hindi cinema with not only Prahaar but also as Dhasal, which will be released in Marathi as well as Hindi. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lalit Prabhakar (@lalit.prabhakar) Directed by Avinash Arun and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story stars Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher and Ashish Vidyarthi, along with Lalit Prabhakar. The film is set to hit theatres on October 16, 2026. Also Read:Prahaar trailer launch: Devendra Fadnavis hails Rajkummar Rao as an ACCOMPLISHED actor; urges every Indian to watch Prahaar

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader shot dead in Thane; one arrested, another detained

Digital Desk | Thane, Sep 30 (IANS) Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, Pradeep Purnekar, was shot dead in Maharashtras Thane on Tuesday night, with police intensifying their investigation into the killing on Wednesday. One suspect has been formally arrested, while another is being questioned in connection with the case. The attack took place at around 9 p.m. in the Manpada-Manorama Nagar area, near Purnekars office and within the jurisdiction of the Kapurbawdi police station. According to police, unidentified assailants opened fire at Purnekar, hitting him twice. He was rushed to a hospital on Ghodbunder Road, where he died while undergoing treatment. CCTV footage examined by investigators showed that one of the two detained suspects was present at the scene during the firing and was allegedly involved in the conspiracy, while the other reportedly provided a vehicle to the two accused who carried out the shooting. One of the suspects has been formally arrested, while the other is being questioned by police. Investigators are also looking for other people who may have been involved in the attack and are examining CCTV footage from the area and surrounding roads to establish the sequence of events and trace the suspects movements. Pradeep Purnekars body was sent to Mumbais JJ Hospital on Wednesday morning for a post-mortem examination, DCP Prashant Kadam said. After the post-mortem, a detailed report will be available, he said. Reacting to the killing, Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey raised concerns over the law-and-order situation in Maharashtra. What has happened to Maharashtra? There are so many criminals, mafias, and murderers roaming freely that I cannot even tell you. Whether it is Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Mumbai, and now Thane, late last night, a senior leader of our party, Shiv Sena (UBT), was shot dead Dubey told IANS. Reports said the attackers were wearing helmets and masks. Police are examining footage from multiple cameras and other evidence to identify all those involved and determine how the accused fled the scene. The killing has also raised questions about a possible connection with a proposed agitation against a local builder. Purnekar had reportedly announced plans to stage a protest over alleged irregularities by a local builder and had sought permission from the Kapurbawdi police for the demonstration. However, police have not confirmed any link between the proposed protest or the builder dispute and the killing. Investigators are examining multiple possible motives, including political rivalry and personal enmity. The exact reason behind the attack remains under investigation.

Chidambaram calls SIR process deeply flawed, questions ECs decisions

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 30 (IANS) Former Union Minister and Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Wednesday criticised the Election Commission of India (ECI) over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process of electoral rolls, alleging that it has been marred by serious concerns and disagreements within the poll panel. Speaking to IANS, Chidambaram said, The Election Commission is totally wrong. The SIR process has been doubted by the two Election Commissioners, and they have pointed out that there were 14 disagreements between the Election Commissioners and the Chief Election Commissioner. He further referred to alleged errors in the electoral revision process in several states, including Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana. Too many mistakes have been pointed out in Karnataka, Maharashtra and Haryana. So many mistakes have been pointed out in the past. The SIR process is deeply flawed. If it was not flawed, why should the Election Commission meet again and change the process? What happened a few days ago should be totally scrapped, he said. Reports of differences within the three-member Election Commission over aspects of the SIR exercise have triggered a political controversy. According to reports, Election Commissioners Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Vivek Joshi had raised objections on several issues over a period of 10 months. The Election Commission, however, has maintained that the final decisions on the SIR exercise were unanimous and that the observations raised during the process were part of its deliberations. The INDIA bloc is scheduled to hold a meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday to discuss the Election Commission row and chalk out a joint strategy on the SIR process. The meeting is also expected to consider plans for a nationwide agitation, including protests and public rallies against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. An impeachment motion against him in Parliament is also expected to be discussed. The meeting comes after the Congress Working Committee adopted a resolution seeking CEC Kumars removal and raising concerns over the functioning of the Election Commission. The Opposition has intensified its criticism of the poll panel following reports about the differences between the two Election Commissioners and the CEC over electoral roll revisions. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has also alleged irregularities in the electoral process, while the Election Commission has rejected claims that its decisions were taken without the approval of its members. The Opposition's proposed campaign is expected to begin with a series of rallies, including one at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, followed by programmes in different states. The INDIA bloc may also announce the date of its first major rally during the meeting. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi are expected to represent Congress. Trinamool Congress leaders Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee, Kalyan Banerjee and Derek O'Brien are also expected to attend. Leaders of Left parties are likely to participate as well. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha leader Hemant Soren, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, NCP's Supriya Sule, National Conference chief Omar Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti are among the other leaders expected to join the meeting. Shiv Sena(UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray is expected to participate virtually. Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav is not likely to attend the meeting, with senior party leader Harendra Malik set to represent the party.
