Abhay Verma (born 27 July 1998) is an Indian actor who works in Hindi cinema. He first gained recognition for his supporting role on the second season of the thriller series The Family Man (2021), and had his first lead role in the independent film Safed (2023). Verma had his breakthrough with a starring role in the comedy horror film Munjya (2024), a commercial success.[1]

Early life

Verma is from Panipat, Haryana.[2] He completed his schooling from St. Mary's Convent School, pursued Science but faced failure three times. He then enrolled in BBA but felt it was a waste of time. He came to Mumbai with his parents to pursue a career in acting.[3] His brother, Abhishek, is also an actor.[4]

Career

Verma began his acting career with Marzi and subsequently featured in Little Things. Alongside these projects, he has been involved in television commercials.[5] Verma revealed that during his time as a junior artist on the set of Super 30, where he earned ₹800 rupees per day, he learned extensively from observing others. Inspired by the experience of working alongside 200 people daily, he resolved that his future lay in pursuing greater achievements in cinema rather than continuing in his current role for an extended period.[6]

Verma in 2024

It was his role opposite Manoj Bajpayee in The Family Man 2 that gained him recognition. He played Kalyan, Dhruti's (played by Ashlesha Thakur) friend involved with terrorists. In 2023, he made his film debut appearing in Safed in the role of a transgender.[7] Sana Farzeen of India Today wrote, "Given his age and lack of experience, Abhay Verma tries to give an honest performance", adding that he "falter[s] when it comes to acing the body language, and also overacts in a few emotional moments".[8]

In 2024, he featured in the biographical drama Ae Watan Mere Watan, starring Sara Ali Khan as Usha Mehta. Zinia Bandyopadhyay of India Today noted that his performance stood out in a poorly written film.[9] In the same year, he had his breakout role as the lead character of a young man terrorized by a monster in the comedy horror film Munjya. The fourth installment in the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe, the film was inspired by Indian folklore and mythology, focusing on the legend of munjya. Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express took note of how well he played his "earnest-and-bewildered" character.[10] It emerged as the eighth highest grossing Hindi film of 2024.[11]

Verma filmed a role portraying a young version of India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the film Mann Bairagi, which was filmed in the late 2010s and has not-yet been released.[12]
