Pankaj Tripathi: I wish to Direct Movies

In a recent media interview, Pankaj Tripathi expressed his fondness for telling stories and wants to try his hands at directing movies.

“I came in because I love the process and how the actor becomes a part of the storytelling. Coming from a small village in Bihar, I grew up listening to stories. I have developed a liking for telling stories too,” Tripathi said.

“So, apart from acting, I would like to direct a movie. A producer also plays an important part, but it is the director who has the vision of the story,” he said.

The actor has been part of many movies, but Anurag Kashyap‘s Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) turned out to be his breakthrough performance. Tripathi is now gearing up for Fukrey 3 and OMG 2 – Oh My God!
