A
couple
of
days
ago,
the
trailer
of
Pankaj
Tripathi's
upcoming
ZEE5
film
Kaagaz
was
unveiled,
and
netizens
are
quite
excited
about
the
film.
It's
known
to
all
that
Tripathi
is
a
phenomenal
actor,
and
leaves
no
stone
unturned
to
get
into
the
skin
of
any
character.
In
Kaagaz,
which
is
based
on
the
real-life
story,
Tripathi
portrays
the
role
of
Lal
Bihari
Mritak,
who
fought
for
his
life
for
nineteen
years
after
being
declared
dead.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
Hindustan
Times,
Pankaj
spoke
about
playing
the
lead
role
in
Kaagaz
and
said,
"It's
a
hero-centric
society
right?
We
like
heroes,
worship
them,
copy
them.
And
the
hero
of
this
film
is
Lal
Bihari.
I
never
came
to
Mumbai
to
be
a
hero,
I
came
here
to
act
and
follow
my
passion.
I
had
never
thought
that
someday
there
will
be
a
film
in
which
I
will
play
the
lead."
He
further
added,
"Because
as
early
as
16
years
ago
(we
came
here
in
2004),
no
one
would
have
thought
that
a
45-year-old
man,
a
plain-looking
guy
like
me,
could
be
the
lead
actor
of
any
film.
So
when
this
thing
happened
two
years
ago,
I
got
excited
about
the
opportunity."
It's
been
almost
two
decades
since
Tripathi
joined
the
film
industry,
but
after
a
long
wait
the
actor
got
to
play
the
lead
role
in
a
film.
One
might
find
it
unfair,
but
the
Mirzapur
actor
says
that
he
has
always
been
content
in
his
life.
Pankaj
said
that
he
is
satisfied
with
what
he
has,
and
does
not
worry
about
anything
too
much.
"Of
course,
everyone
wants
to
succeed
in
life,
be
in
a
better
position
than
they
are
in
life.
But
I
am
satisfied
wherever
I
am," added
the
Stree
actor.
Coming
back
to
Kaagaz,
the
film
is
directed
by
Satish
Kaushik
and
will
be
released
on
ZEE5
on
January
7,
2021.
