Pankaj Tripathi's work front

Tripathi, currently a celebrated actor, faced a series of challenges early in his career. Commencing with minor supporting roles across various films, it was his captivating depiction of Sultan Qureshi in the two-part gangster film Gangs of Wasseypur that served as the pivotal moment in his trajectory. This marked the initiation of his ascent to stardom, paving the way for subsequent notable roles in films such as Fukrey, Super 30, Luka Chuppi, 83, Ludo, and more.

His portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya in the popular web series Mirzapur bought him widespread fame. His most recent project, Main Atal Hoon, has recently hit the screens. This biographical film delves into the life of former Prime Minister of India, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Looking ahead, Tripathi is set for upcoming projects, including Stree 2 and Metro... In Dino. Under the direction of Anurag Basu, the latter boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma, Ali Fazal, and Fatima Sana Shaikh in pivotal roles.
