selectvenue Pankaj Tripathi has disclosed that the actor turned down numerous offers from the South for the following reasons.
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. Below is everything you need to know about Pankaj’s recent disclosure on the subject.
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 fact, a few veterans had already come into contact. Even Pankaj had received numerous approaches, but the actor consistently turned down roles in movies.
Speaking at the International Film Festival of India held in Goa, Pankaj Tripathi made a revelation that he has rejected multiple offers from the South. He said, “While language is not a barrier for me, I prefer Hindi cinema. It’s because I am comfortable with Hindi, main uss language ko samajhta hoon, uski bhavnaon ko, nuances ko behtar samajhta hoon (I understand the language better, I understand its emotions and nuances better).”
Pankaj Tripathi believes that his familiarity with Hindi will make it difficult for him to perform to the best of his ability.
“Forget Hollywood, I get offers from Telugu and Malayalam filmmakers but I feel I won’t be able to do justice to those films because I won’t be able to speak the language,” the Mimi actor quoted.
On the work front, Pankaj Tripathi will be seen in Oh My God 2 alongside Akshay Kumar and also has a web series titled ‘Gulkanda Tales’ in his kitty.
