Pankaj Tripathi catapulted to amazing career heights with the rise of OTT platforms. These days he gets casted in all sorts of roles from menacing criminals to comic relief characters. His performances in 'Sacred Games', 'Mirzapur', 'Luka Chuppi' are notable. It is obvious that apart from phenomenal acting skills, he also has an amazing taste in choosing scripts.

In a recent conversation with a news outlet, Pankaj talked about what goes into his head while judging a script. He said, "Sometimes I pick stories I like or characters I like, or something in the film that I really want to reach to the people, like a message. Before choosing a project I see if there is gender sensitivity or not and what a filmmaker is trying to say through the film."

As expected from an artist of his caliber, Pankaj doesn't care much about the monetary collection of film and focuses on the message it is trying to present. He said, "Box office collection is a by-product. I just want to pass on a message through a film. Every story has the purpose of giving out a message. So, I keep that in mind."
