Pankaj Tripathi says it was refreshing to play a detective in Homi Adajania`s "Murder Mubarak", a film that will keep the audiences on their toes. The movie, which starts streaming on Netflix from Friday, revolves around a police officer trying to solve a murder case in a posh Delhi club. Tripathi plays cop Bhavani Singh, who is hot on the heels of the killer.
"It was refreshing to play a cop in an interesting and engaging film. It will be a fun watch for the audience. The viewer will not stress over who has done the murder because this world and its characters are very quirky. It`s Homi Adajania`s world," the National Award winner told PTI. Produced by Dinesh Vijan`s Maddock Films, the film is based on Anuja Chauhan`s 2013 novel "Club You To Death". Gazal Dhaliwal and Suprotim Sengupta have adapted the book for screen. "Murder Mubarak" also stars Sara Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Vijay Varma, Sanjay Kapoor, Tisca Chopra, Suhail Nayyar and Aashim Gulati. Tripathi said he had done a cameo in "Angrezi Medium", Adajania`s film with Irrfan Khan, and the experience was so rewarding that it did not take him a lot of time to say yes to the new film.
