Rannvijay Singha plays a snarky yet charismatic professor in the upcoming Netflix series, Mismatched. In the show, Rannvijay’s Professor Sid tries to get a bunch of teenagers to think out of the box and come up with an app idea. 

Speaking about slipping into the role, Rannvijay says, “Cool and snarky on the outside but a softie inside, Professor Sid believes in tough love when it comes to his students. He wants to push them out of their comfort zones so that they can each reach their highest potential. To be honest, we’ve all had at least one teacher like that in our lives, so Sid has been inspired by many of mine. He may come across as uncaring, brash, and sarcastic, but his intentions are noble. I’m excited for audiences to watch this series on Netflix. And who knows? Maybe it’ll inspire some people to create a brand new app or some others to fall in love!”

Written by Gazal Dhaliwal and directed by Akarsh Khurana, Mismatched follows a couple who “must build an amazing app while navigating an oddball bunch of friends, nasty bullies, a snoopy professor.” The show is set to stream on Netflix soon.
