Pankaj Tripathi To Foray Into Kollywood

Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi has starred in several Hindi films, including ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Agneepath’, ‘Fukrey’, 'Masaan', 'Dilwale' et al. According to recent reports doing the rounds, the actor is all set to foray into Kollywood Pa Ranjith’s upcoming gangster flick ‘Kaala’. The Tamil movie will star superstar Rajinikanth in the lead.

Touching upon the same, Pankaj told Deccan Chronicle, “Director Ranjith saw my work in Gangs of Wasseypur and Nil Battey Sannata, and found it interesting. So, he roped me in to play a cop with grey shades. Currently, I am shooting for Kaala in Mumbai and the schedule will go on till June 25. Post this, I will be shooting for some of my portions in Chennai as well”.

The Nil Battey Sannata actor is all thrilled about starring alongside Thalaivar. “I am excited and happy that I got this offer. The real-life and reel-life of Bollywood actors are in complete contrast. Rajinikanth’s persona is the same everywhere and I can personally relate to him. His simplicity and humility are something that everyone needs to look up to”.

Pankaj has also worked in Rajkummar Rao’s ‘Newton’, which had its world premiere in the Forum section of the 67th Berlin International Film Festival. The film will release on August 18.
