Pankaj Tripathi, who wowed us with his role as Kaleen Bhaiya in Mirzapur 3, is now ruling hearts with his portrayal of Rudra Bhaiya in Stree 2. Despite having a relatively smaller role in the film, Tripathi is making everyone laugh with his impactful performance. Rajkummar Rao, who has worked with Tripathi in Stree and its sequel, has praised him by calling him "Rudra Bhaiya in real life."
In an interview with Lallantop, when Rajkummar was asked about his co-star Pankaj Tripathi, he stated, "Pankaj Ji is Rudra Bhaiya in real life as well. He is so well-read and intellectual that I feel he is the perfect person to play Rudra Bhaiya. He has a wealth of experience and wisdom in both art and life in general. Though he is a man of few words, on set he often talks about his old days and shares experiences from his time at NSD."
