Pankaj Tripathi’s unique ‘Guru Dakshina’ for Irrfan Khan

As a young and aspiring actor from NSD, Irrfan Khan was always Pankaj Tripathi’s biggest inspiration. Tripathi’s journey as an actor began because of the influence the later had on him. Pankaj has longed to share screen space with Irrfan and jumped into it when the opportunity presented itself with Angrezi Medium. His cameo in Angrezi Medium is a true dedication of his sheer admiration for the actor.

Tripathi shares, “I’ve always been inspired by Irrfan's performances as an actor. He has had a huge impact on my life, especially with his performances from Haasil, Maqbool, The Warrior and Pan Singh Tomar.

"My guru and also my senior from the National School of Drama, I have always wanted to impact audiences the way he does.  His contribution has been greatly acknowledged in the Indian Cinema and my role in this film is almost like my ‘guru dakshina’ to him.”He further adds, “I don’t think there is anybody who wouldn’t look up to him. I always wanted to share the frame with him and being a hard-core follower of Irrfan, I have learnt so much from just watching him perform,” says elatedTripathi

Directed by Homi Adajania, Angrezi Medium will see both the power-packed performers, Pankaj Tripathi and Irrfan uniting for the first time ever on silver screen.

Presented by Jio Studios and Prem Vijan and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films production, Angrezi Medium is slated to release on March 13th, 2020.
