Arre bhai, Bollywood ka asli masala toh Pankaj Tripathi ke purane dinon mein chhupa hai! Suno suno, jab social media ka naam-o-nishaan bhi nahi tha aur casting agencies bhi haath ki ungliyon pe ginni ja sakti thi, tab Pankaj bhaiya ko apna naam aur pehchaan banane ke liye kya-kya nahi karna pada. Chalo, sunte hain unki kahani, Khabree Kiran ke style mein! 😉
Pankaj Tripathi and the ‘Wanted’ Poster Fiasco
Pankaj Tripathi, our very own acting ka baadshah, once had his photo plastered on a ‘wanted’ board at a police station setup for a crime show! 😱 Picture this: you’re an aspiring actor, and instead of being in the limelight, you find your face being used for the role of a petty thief. Kya zamana tha!
Pankaj hilariously recalled, "Yaar, us waqt na Facebook tha aur na hi Instagram, bas kuch casting agencies thi jo door-to-door jaake apna dukhda sunana padta tha ki bhai, hum bhi actor hain! Har agency ke paas ek carton hota tha – sab log apni photos daal dete the. Bas, us din mera photo use kar liya gaya for that crime show setup."
Flashback to Pankaj’s Initial Days
Our favorite artist, Pankaj, started off with blink-and-you-miss-it roles in films like Chigurida Kanasu (2003), Run (2004), and Apaharan (2005). But then came the game-changer: Gangs of Wasseypur! Suddenly, sabne kaha, "Yeh banda toh acting ka bacha nahi, khiladi hai!" From Dabangg 2 to Masaan, Pankaj carved a niche for himself.
What’s Next for Pankaj?
Recently, Pankaj was seen in Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2, starring alongside Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor. Up next, he’s diving into Metro In Dino, a project directed by Anurag Basu, with a star filled cast including Sara Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur. Aur suno, Pankaj bhai ke pipeline mein Thug Life aur Mirzapur The Film bhi hai. Matlab, abhi aur dhamaka baki hai! 🎬
Kiran’s Gyan: Doston, Bollywood mein zindagi ek photo album ki tarah hai – kabhi aap hero hote ho, toh kabhi kisi crime show ka farzi chor. Par yaad rahe, har photo ka apna charm hota hai, bas art department ki nazar aap pe padni chahiye! 😂
