Panchayat’s ‘MLA ji’ targeted Pankaj Tripathi: said- some actors in the industry glamorize their struggle

‘Panchayat’ fame actor Pankaj Jha has targeted Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi. He has indirectly accused the actor of doing politics. Jha says that there are many actors in the industry who snatch work from other actors and glamorize their struggle. ‘I am not affected by the politics behind me’ In an interview given to Digital Commentary, when Pankaj was asked if he feels that politics was done with him for the role in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’? In response to this, Jha said, ‘If politics is done behind my back, then it does not matter to me. Those who do politics behind someone’s back are generally cowards, but if the other person’s politics harms me, then the one who does politics has won, right?’ ‘After two days, I came to know that someone else is doing that role’ Sharing this incident, Jha said- ‘I had gone to Patna for the shooting of a film. There I got a message from casting director Mukesh Chhabra that he wanted to cast me in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. When I returned after two days of shooting for some other project, I came to know that the Wasseypur role had been given to someone else.’ Pankaj Tripathi’s luck changed with ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ Let us tell you that Jha had worked with Anurag in films like ‘Black Friday’ and ‘Gulaal’. After this, Anurag also approached Jha for the role of Sultan in the film ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ released in 2012. However, later this role was played by Pankaj Tripathi and this character changed his luck. He said – some people steal slippers. Further in the interview, Jha, pointing towards Pankaj Tripathi, also said that some people steal someone’s slippers and say that he is a very big actor for us, so we stole his slippers. Let us tell you that during his struggling days, Manoj Bajpayee once came to stay at the hotel where Pankaj Tripathi used to work. Manoj had forgotten his slippers in the hotel itself, which Pankaj had kept. Tripathi had narrated this story in an interview. He described himself as a director making actor. In the conversation, Jha has targeted director Anurag Kashyap besides Pankaj. Calling himself a director making actor, he said, ‘If films like ‘Satya’ and ‘Gulaal’ have made the careers of actors, then many actors have also made the careers of directors. But people here are very slimy. They do not have a backbone. They cannot even speak their words. Some directors are in such a bad condition that they themselves do not have any work. They are working on 36 different projects on the same project.’ Pankaj Jha has been active since 2001 Pankaj Jha has been active in the industry since 2001.
