Pankaj
Tripathi
is
considered
to
be
one
of
the
finest
actors
who
has
a
explored
a
variety
of
roles
in
Gangs
Of
Wasseypur,
Bareilly
Ki
Barfi,
Stree,
Newton
and
others.
To
watch
Pankaj
play
dark
characters
with
refinement
and
ease
is
what
audiences
love
the
most.
Although
Pankaj
is
not
opposed
to
playing
dark
characters,
there
is
one
line
which
he
has
set
for
himself
which
he
says
he'll
never
cross.
Pankaj
does
not
want
to
sell
the
idea
of
fake
masculinity.
"I
will
never
sell
the
idea
of
fake
masculinity
through
my
work.
I'm
completely
against
portraying
a
man
who
is
told
that
'kyun
ladkiyon
ki
tarah
ro
raha
hai
or
mard
ko
dard
nahi
hota',"
said
Pankaj,
according
to
Hindustan
Times.
He
added,
"Even
when
it
comes
to
playing
a
bad
guy,
I'm
fine
with
it,
but
if
you
ask
me
to
do
a
scene
which
involves
child
abuse,
I'll
never
do
it
no
matter
what
money
is
offered
to
me."
He
is
not
opposed
to
playing
a
'bad
guy',
but
the
intention
with
which
a
bad
guy
is
portrayed
is
the
deciding
factor
in
picking
roles.
"Kahani
mein
kuch
kirdaar
bure
bhi
hote
hai
but
one
has
to
see
what
the
intention
behind
showing
a
bad
guy
is.
Sometimes,
we
do
such
parts
to
add
satire.
I'm
silently
working
on
the
changes
that
I
want
to
see
in
the
society
through
the
mode
of
entertainment.
Going
forward,
I'd
rather
do
a
role
where
I'd
get
to
showcase
what
it
means
to
be
a
real
man
or
a
gentleman," he
said.
Pankaj
has
a
number
of
movies
coming
up
including
Tanhaji:
The
Unsung
Warrior,
Panga,
Sandeep
Aur
Pinky
Faraar,
'83,
Gunjan
Saxena
and
more.
