Failures are essential for the sweet fruit of success, Mrityunjay also faced some of these when his movie did not succeed, this made him rethink his decision to be an actor. He began working as an EP but life had other plans for him. He went back to pursue his family business but the actor in him could not be suppressed. He did not leave acting and would practice 2 hours each day towards what gave his heart the most amount of happiness.
One day he had a conversation with his very close friend and a raging bollywood actor Rajkumar Rao about his acting journey.
He went following his advices one after the other and he began polishing his skills to take it one step further. He continued to work as an EP and began paying attention to details.
Mrityunjay spent sleepless nights brushing his skills and all this hardwork was about to bore fruit soon.
Mrityunjay got his break as the second lead of the movie called “Dedh Bigha Zameen '' and a marvellous opportunity to scale higher and never see behind. Coming from a city like Patna to the acting world has been no less than a tumultuous ride but it was Mrityunjay Pandey's passion that drove him towards the end of the tunnel.
