Pankaj Tripathi, celebrated for his versatile performances, recently shared his insights on dealing with box office outcomes. Known for his nuanced portrayals and dedication to his roles, Tripathi’s latest film, ‘Main Atal Hoon’, a biopic on Atal Bihari Vajpayee, didn’t achieve the expected success at the box office. Despite this, Tripathi remains unfazed by the numbers, demonstrating a commendable perspective on his work and the industry.
In a conversation with News18, Tripathi discussed his approach to acting and handling the unpredictable nature of box office results. When asked if box office failures disappoint him, he replied, “Not at all.” He explained that when he puts in his 100 percent during the shoot and stays true to his craft, he sees no reason to feel bad. “I understand the box office business. Fortunately, all the films I have done, whether or not they were box office successes, have managed to return money to the producers. I know the math,” Tripathi shared.
This pragmatic view highlights his focus on delivering authentic performances rather than getting caught up in the commercial success of his films, a mindset that sets him apart in an industry often driven by box office numbers.
‘Main Atal Hoon’ follows the remarkable life and political career of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, a towering figure in Indian politics. The film delves into the diverse facets of Vajpayee’s persona, portraying him not only as a statesman but also capturing his essence as a poet and a gentleman. The movie was released in January this year.
Most recently, Tripathi was seen in ‘Mirzapur 3,’ and next on his plate is ‘Stree 2,’ a much-anticipated sequel of a horror-comedy. Starring Rajkummar Rao, Tripathi, Shraddha Kapoor, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee in the lead, the movie will feature Varun Dhawan in a cameo appearance and Tamanna Bhatia in a special song. It is set to hit the big screens on August 15, 2024.
