Pankaj Tripathi: I Want Simplicity, Not Only In My Life But Also My Characters

Pankaj Tripathi is all set to reprise his role as Madhav Mishra in the most-awaited Rohan Sippy directorial, 바카라�Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach바카라�, which is the third season of the popular show. It also stars Shweta Basu Prasad, Swastika Mukherjee, Purab Kohli, Aditya Gupta, Deshna Dugad and Gaurav Gera. This time, Madhav Mishra has a twisted case at hand, the death of a popular child star Zara Ahuja, and 바카라�Criminal Justice 3바카라� deals with juvenile justice. 

Speaking to Outlook India, Tripathi talked about his role in the upcoming season and quips, 바카라�Mithaas wahi hai but ehsaas naya hai,바카라� adding that Madhav Mishra바카라�s wit and sarcasm will remain the same.

Well, Tripathi has played an array of characters, from the vicious Kaleen bhaiya in 바카라�Mirzapur바카라� to Guruji in 바카라�Sacred Games바카라� to more positive roles 바카라�Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl바카라�, 바카라�Kaagaz바카라�, 바카라�바카라�83바카라� and now 바카라�Criminal Justice 3바카라�. 

He credits the writers for the same and tells us, 바카라�Actors are like travellers, the writer carves the path and the director guides. If there are two different characters, of course, performing them is also different. However, the base of them both is writing. It is writing that makes these two worlds different and my job as an actor is only to deliver that with my experience.바카라�

Albeit, one thing common with all of Tripathi바카라�s roles is his simplicity, which makes the audience feel at ease, not only on screen but also in his conversations. 

When asked if that simplicity has helped him become a better actor too, he asserts, 바카라�I want that simplicity in not only my life but also my characters. I was talking to someone recently about how patience and calm behaviour has been deeply ingrained in Indian culture since ancient times. So, it doesn바카라�t matter to me how I look for a part or if I have six pack abs, my focus remains on how relatable my character can be that when anybody sees me on screen, they feel they know a person like this, all this while maintaining a certain uniqueness about it.바카라�

Nonetheless, Tripathi is now a bonafide star. After bagging multiple awards for his performances including a National Award, IIFA and others, it would not be wrong to say that he바카라�s actually the king of OTT content because the medium made him reach the zenith of popularity. 

Ask him if he enjoys the OTT medium and feels if cinema viewing has changed amid the boycott calls of Bollywood films, Tripathi says, 바카라�I think nobody can change the idea of cinema in theatres. OTT has a far wider reach and there is no major worry for numbers, like screen or show count. There is no pressure of opening the box office as well. Mouth publicity is a major factor. OTT, on the other hand, has that democratic nature.바카라�

He signs off, 바카라�As for the boycott trend, I don바카라�t think it will impact a film바카라�s overall business. If the audience doesn바카라�t like a film, they will automatically boycott it.바카라�

Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios, 바카라�Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach바카라� will stream on Disney+ Hotstar from August 26, 2022.
