"I won't be able to bring out the feeling." - Pankaj Tripathi on working in Hollywood/Tollywood
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,November 24 2022]
In last few years, actor Pankaj Tripathi has emerged out to be one of the most successful and sought after actors in the OTT as well as big screen projects. He has the ability to play a wide range of characters with his trademark realistic touch which is why he can appear as a lovable goof in one project and a menacing crime lord in the very next one. Recently, while speaking at International Film Festival of India, Pankaj shared that although he get offer to work in regional movies as well, he finds himself comfortable in Hindi only.
The actor stated, 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. 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. I won't be able to bring out the feeling. Having said that, if someone can write a Hindi-speaking character for me, then I am open to working in any language film.
Talking about whether he has aspirations to work in Hollywood, Pankaj said, To be honest, I have so many opportunities from Hindi projects that I don't find the time to consider Hollywood or other language films.
