Mumbai: Pankaj Tripathi, one of India’s finest stars, has no interest in joining politics unlike his popular on-screen character Kaleen Bhaiya, as he says his “acting shop is running well”.
When asked if the actor has any interest in joining politics, Pankaj told IANS, “No, right now my acting business is going well.”
Pankaj’s latest project is ‘Mirzapur 3’, which currently focuses on Guddu and Golu as the Tripathi reign led by Kaleen Bhaiya seems to be coming to an end in Purvanchal. However, the battle for the throne leads to a lot of bloodshed.
Talking about the intense scenes, Pankaj said, “I have not seen the season. I have only seen my scenes. Kaleen Bhaiya has not done any violence and in the end he is also being blackmailed.”
However, one thing was conspicuously absent in the third season – the entertaining presence of Pankaj Tripathi.
The 47-year-old star added, “Many of my friends said they wanted to see more of me, but in the end, when they saw me, they were satisfied that Kaleen bhaiya is back. When a strong character turns weak, it was shown in the season, and that is the turning point in life where you are not always on the up but also looking down.”
Talking about his upcoming work, Pankaj said that his first film is ‘Stree 2’, which is set to release on August 15. Starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor, the film is a sequel to the 2018 film ‘Stree’.
After this, Pankaj will be seen in Anurag Basu’s film ‘Metro…in dino’.
