Patna: Perpendicular is back.

Dhadak's Devi Singh is none other than Bihar boy Aditya Kumar, the Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur 2 man with a blade in his mouth.

This time too, Aditya has left an ineradicable impression on movie followers with his character in Dhadak, starring Sridevi's daughter Janhvi Kapoor and Shahid's half-brother Ishaan Khatter.

Dhadak is Aditya's fourth Bollywood film, however, his fame has mostly remained confined to the famous character, Perpendicular, sketched by Kashyap in his second franchise of Gangs of Wasseypur. In the 2012 coal mafia film, Perpendicular stormed into Bollywood rolling a blade in his mouth.

As Devi Singh in Dhadak, Aditya plays a crucial role as he is the brewer of trouble in the Janhvi-Ishaan paradise.

Asked about his character in the film, Aditya said over phone from Mumbai: "I am playing the role of Devi Singh whose mission is to destroy the love between Janhvi and Ishaan. I am the one who reveals to the world that something is going on between the two. The narrative changes after that revelation. It is parallel but an independent character in which I try to make brownie points to make his own space."

Dhadak, a remake of the Marathi blockbuster Sairat (2016), is on honour killings.

Adtiya, 26, hails from Pabahera village at Dhanarua in Patna district and son of farmer Jyannt Kumar and Aasha Devi.

Aditya has done his schooling from Patna and Biharsharif, learnt acting from Barry John acting school in Mumbai, where Shah Rukh Khan too learnt the ropes of acting.
