As a young and aspiring actor from the National School of Drama, Pankaj Tripathi’s biggest inspiration was Irrfan. By his own admission, Tripathi’s very reason on why he began his journey as an actor was the influence that watching Irrfan as an actor had on him.

Pankaj has longed to share screen space with Irrfan and jumped when the opportunity presented itself with Angrezi Medium.

Tripathi shared that Irrfan has had a huge impact on his life, especially with his performances from Haasil, Maqbool, The Warrior and Pan Singh Tomar. His contribution has been greatly acknowledged in the Indian Cinema and his role in this film is almost like his ‘guru dakshina’ to him.

Both the power packed performers, Pankaj Tripathi and Irrfan, will be seen uniting for the first time ever in ‘Angrezi Medium’. The crew who watched their scene being shot were in splits and described the experience as “hilarious” and “extremely entertaining”.

Dinesh Vijan’s Angrezi Medium is eyeing for release on March 13th, 2020.
