Pankaj Tripathi: I won't do back to back work like before

Pankaj Tripathi reveals he’s cutting back on back-to-back projects to prioritize personal time while prepping for 'Metro…In Dino' release.

Pankaj Tripathi: I won't do back to back work like before
"I will work less now, finish one project and take a break before starting another – Pankaj Tripathi"

New Delhi, June 26

Acclaimed actor Pankaj Tripathi has his diary full of work with Metro…In Dino, Criminal Justice Season 4 and an upcoming film with Amit Rai. However, the star has said that he won’t do back-to-back work to spend some quality time at home.

“So now, I have decided that I will do one thing, and I will take a month's leave for 20 days. I won't do it back to back like before. I will finish one work, take a month's leave, and then start another. Now I won't do that much. I will work less,” Pankaj told IANS, when asked about staying so busy.

The actor had once said that he acts for deeper reasons beyond fame or money. Has that reason changed over the years?

“The reason has changed a little. But earlier I used to say that I am not doing it for fame or money. But deep down, if it was for fame or money, then only I would have come to become an actor. Yes. So I don't know. But now I feel that it has changed a little,” he added.

The actor currently awaits the release of “Metro…In Dino,” which delves into the complex and modern relationships, the upcoming film promises an exploration of love, heartbreak, and human connection.

The film stars Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta. Directed by Anurag Basu, the film will be in cinemas on July 4.

The film is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 film “Life in a... Metro” directed by Basu. Partly inspired by Billy Wilder's romantic comedy film The Apartment, it features an ensemble cast of Dharmendra, Nafisa Ali, Shilpa Shetty, Kay Kay Menon, Shiney Ahuja, Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Kangana Ranaut, and Sharman Joshi in lead roles. It narrates the lives of nine people living in Mumbai and deals with topics such as extramarital affairs, sanctity of marriage, commitment phobia, and love.

Respect for Pankaj Tripathi! In this rat race, it takes guts to prioritize personal life over work. Our film industry needs more artists like him who value quality over quantity. Looking forward to Metro In Dino - his performances always add depth to any story. ❤️

Smart decision! When actors take time to live real life, their performances become more authentic. Remember his brilliant acting in Mirzapur? That intensity comes from real experiences, not just back-to-back shooting schedules. More power to him!

While I admire his work ethic, I hope this doesn't mean we'll see less of him on screen. Pankaj Tripathi is one actor who can make even ordinary roles extraordinary. Maybe he can find a balance - quality work with reasonable breaks?

His honesty about changing motivations is refreshing! Most celebrities pretend they're only in it for the art. It's okay to admit money and fame matter too - that's human nature. Pankaj Tripathi keeps it real as always!

Metro In Dino sounds interesting, but I hope it lives up to the original. The 2007 film was a masterpiece! With Pankaj Tripathi and this stellar cast, expectations are sky high. Fingers crossed 🤞

This is why he's different from typical Bollywood stars. While others chase money and fame non-stop, Pankaj Tripathi shows maturity by balancing work and life. More actors should learn from him - quality matters more than quantity!
