Pankaj Tripathy Talk’s About His Worst Audition Of His Lifetime

Pankaj Tripathi's audition journey.


Pankaj Tripathi was first seen in the 2004 film Run. In 2012, with the historic success of Anurag Kashyap's gangster-drama Gangs Of Wasseypur, he began to accumulate accolades. And today, he not only happens to be one of the best talents within the country, but he's also a really busy artist.

In an interview with Neha Dhupia on her talk show JioSaavn No Filter Neha 5, when asked about his worst audition, this is often what Tripathi had to mention, he statted that, "It's hard to recall, there are numerous 'worst' auditions that it's tough to pick just one. There are instances once we are called 'Not Fit' right at the audition gate. You cannot even call that the worst audition because it didn't happen only."

He even added in his statement that, "I have faced only a few of 'worst' things in my life. Ever since the concept of casting directors has inherited the movie industry, things became better. Whenever I want to meet my senior actors on location, they want to tell me how tough it had been for them. There was no TV, a touch little bit of Doordarshan, and films followed a group pattern - a hero, a heroine, a villain, an inspector, and a doctor, so how will new talents get a chance?"

He then went on to speak about this Shekhar Kapur film and the way it benefited the actors. He also stated in that same interview that "Bandit Queen came out and plenty of latest actors came into the film industry. So Satya and Bandit Queen, I actually like these two movies and these movies introduced a replacement generation of actors and filmmaking."

Pankaj Tripathi was last seen this year in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl with Janvi Kapoor and is now gearing up for 83, Ludo, and Mimi.
