Pankaj Tripathi’s Father’s demise
August 2023 saw the sad demise of Pankaj’s father. An official statement from the family read: “It’s with a heavy heart to confirm that Pankaj Tripathi’s father, Pandit Banaras Tiwari, is no more. He lived a wholesome life of 99 years. His last rites will be performed today amongst his close family. Pankaj Tripathi is currently on his way to his village in Gopalganj”.
Pankaj loved working with Homi Adajania in ‘Murder Mubarak’
“Two things drew me to this film – Homi Adajania, the director, and the script. I remember producer Dinesh Vijan bought this book a long time back, so he said that it’s a unique and different kind of story, and he wanted me to play the role of the detective in it. My wife used always to say that one day I’ll have to play a detective because of the kind of novels and books on investigation and detectives that I read”.
“When the producer said the same thing, I thought I must do this role. Bhavani Singh is not a detective, but he tries to be one. Somewhere, he tries to act like a detective, and then his real instincts catch on. It’s a skinny line,” he added.
Asked if he drew any inspiration from any popular detective characters, Tripathi said, “I grew up away from cinema and TV, but I was able to catch a few episodes of Karamchand starring Pankaj Kapur ji, which used to be broadcast on Doordarshan. I have read a few detective novels which help you visualize characters on your own. That’s why books are special, writers describe, they don’t give you visuals.”
