PANKAJ TRIPATHI WON'T DO REGIONAL FILMS
“I don’t like the idea of speaking in a language I am not comfortable with in any film or web series. I’m not in favour of my dialogues being mouthed by someone else. My acting and expressions are complemented by my voice. Otherwise my role is incomplete,” Pankaj Tripathi told PTI. Asked whether he would ever star in a Bengali movie, Tripathi said he has an understanding of the Bengali language but that is not sufficient. “Ami alpo alpo Bangla jani, bhaloi bujhi kintu bhalo bolte parina (I know a little bit of Bengali and understand fully but can’t speak much). It is not sufficient for portraying a Bengali speaking character,” he added. However, he would do a Bengali movie if he is cast as a Hindi speaking character.
ON THE WORK FRONT
Pankaj Tripathi has starred in hit films like Stree, Gurgaon, Ludo and web series Mirzapur. He is a truly versatile actor. The actor will be seen next in Srijit Mukherji’s Sherdil: The Pilibhit Saga, which is set to be released theatrically across the country on June 24. The film is inspired by true events from the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve, where people would leave their elderly family members for tigers to prey on and then claim compensation from the administration.
