Pankaj Tripathi Says He Owes The Success Of His Career To OTT & Not Bollywood & We Agree

Actor Pankaj Tripathi is convinced that the only reason he is successful and people recognize him is because of his work on OTT platforms.

¡°The contribution of OTT is huge for my career. In terms of reach, it¡¯s huge. Even the people in my village watch my shows. The cinema hall is 26 kilometers away from my village and it was not possible for them to catch all my films. But thanks to OTT, people are watching in my village. OTT ka nahut yogdaan hai mere career mein,¡± shares Pankaj Tripathi.

The reach of OTT allows a lot more people to see Pankaj Tripathi's work which has released mostly on these popular content platforms.

"They are so popular that people call me by my character names wherever I go. At the airports, the CISF people also smile at me and call me my screen names,¡± Pankaj Tripathi says with a laugh.

When asked what made him do shows that were meant to be released on OTT before OTT platforms became a huge deal, Pankaj Tripathi says the platform never mattered but the work.

¡°For me, the story is important, not the platform, I don¡¯t care where my work is showcased. Before films, I used to do TV. For me, there is no difference. The best part about OTT is that we have a lot of time and you can go into the depths of the character. Not just we actors but also writers and makers. That scope in cinema is far less that way. OTT has changed things a lot,¡± Tripathi concluded.
