Pankaj Tripathi is one of Bollywood’s top actors right now. The 46-year-old is recognised for seamlessly executing any kind of role, so seeing him on screen is a true joy. It’s really unbelievable that an actor with such talent hasn’t appeared in any South Asian movies. Pankaj recently spoke out concerning the same
As everyone is aware, the South’s film industries are currently enjoying a golden age, with support coming from all sides. Many Bollywood actors have been spotted appearing in the South. In truth, a few veterans had already come into contact. Even Pankaj had had numerous approaches, but the actor consistently turned down roles in movies.
During his talk at the Goa International Film Festival of India, Pankaj Tripathi revealed that he had turned down numerous offers from the South. Although I don’t find language to be a hindrance, I favour Hindi cinema, he declared. Main uss language ko samajhta hoon, uski bhavnaon ko, nuances ko behtar samajhta hoon (I grasp the language better, I understand its emotions and nuances better) is why I feel at ease with Hindi.
Pankaj Tripathi believes that his familiarity with Hindi will make it difficult for him to perform to the best of his ability. Despite approaches from Telugu and Malayalam producers, the Mimi actor said, “Forget Hollywood; I feel I won’t be able to do those films credit since I won’t be able to speak the language.”
On the professional front, Pankaj Tripathi will co-star with Akshay Kumar in Oh My God 2 and will star in the online series “Gulkanda Tales.”
