Pankaj Tripathi is one of the best actors Bollywood has. He has the talent of making his fans laugh with his extraordinary comic timing and can equally easily make them shed tears too with his spectacular acting. Now, he has spoken about what he keeps in mind while choosing a script.

Recently, in an interview with IANS, Pankaj Tripathi said, “Sometimes I pick stories I like or characters I like, or something in the film that I really want to reach to the people, like a message. Before choosing a project I see if there is gender sensitivity or not and what a filmmaker is trying to say through the film.”

He further added, “Box office collection is a by-product. I just want to pass on a message through a film. Every story has the purpose of giving out a message. So, I keep that in mind.” 

Pankaj Tripathi is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film Mimi which stars Kirti Sanon as well. 

The film revolves around the story of a girl who wants to become a Bollywood actor and ends up becoming a surrogate mother for a couple. Pankaj Tripathi plays an integral role in Mimi’s journey and her struggles. 

The film also stars Sai Tamhankar, Supriya Pathak, and Manoj Pahwa, and will release on July 30 on Jio Cinema and Netflix. 

Recently, he also expressed how he had difficulty in shooting emotional scenes for Mimi, he said, “Because I am not used to it. I always try that it doesn't get over-dramatic and there's no melodrama. It should be real. So sometimes, in an attempt to keep it real, you stop yourself. So that was a difficult part. The emotional part was a little tough for me.” 

Well, we are really looking forward to his next release. What about you? Let us know in the comments section below.
