Pankaj Tripathi is arguably one of the most exciting actors we have in the Hindi film industry currently. His movie choices and performances are always a treat to watch. This year, he has had Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Ludo, and Mirzapur 2, and each of them had something refreshing to offer. The actor is now gearing up for Kabir Khan's '83.
This ensemble is based on the 1983 World Cup which the Indian Cricket Team won under the guidance of their coach Man Singh, the role that Tripathi essays. And when asked about his experience of shooting the film, he told Mumbai Mirror, "I'd take advantage of my seniority and my role to admonish them sometimes, and if we packed up early, I'd regale them with stories and my extensive knowledge."
