The world of Odia jatra is set to witness a dramatic twist as celebrated antagonist Piyush Tripathy announces his return to the stage this Dussehra.
Known for stirring emotions and controversy alike, Piyush made it clear that his earlier decision to take a break has now been overturned.
Speaking to local media, Piyush revealed, “I had considered a year-long rest, but the lingering disputes made me rethink. If controversy will follow anyway, why wait?”
His performance is expected to resume with the renowned Singhabahini troupe, with whom he reportedly signed a five-year contract starting from 2026-27. However, the owners’ association has not issued any formal statement regarding his re-entry.
Audiences and followers of traditional Odia theatre are buzzing with anticipation as Piyush prepares to re-ignite the stage he once ruled. Dussehra 2025 could mark a pivotal moment not just in his career but also in the cultural resonance of jatra in Odisha.
