Pankaj Tripathi wants to cut down on work
Pankaj Tripathi was recently completely transparent about his choice to reduce his workload.?
In an interview with Indian Express, Tripathi said. “I realized I was ‘overeating’, itna acting nahi karna chahiye.”
He also talked about how Amar Kaushik, the director of Stree 2, gently brought up the fact that he was still portraying Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former prime minister of India. The actor recalled that after wrapping up filming for Atal, he was on the set of Stree 2 the following day.
“On the first day after my shot, Amar Kaushik came to me and whispered in my ears, ‘Atal ji lag rahe hai!’ (You look like Atal ji). I told him what do I do now, I had just finished the film in Delhi last night. So he gave me a day off and asked me to watch Stree and chill. I said de de chutti, I want this!”?
Tripathi continued by saying that because the sets overlapped, he came to the conclusion that switching sets overnight wasn't a smart idea. He realized that he need a 30-day break: ten days to recover from his last work, ten days to fully rest, and ten days to prepare for the following role.?
