Stree: Pankaj Tripathi Shares The Challenges He Faced While Playing His Character

National Award-winning actor Pankaj Tripathi, who is known for his roles in films like Stree, Dabangg 2 and Fukrey Returns, believes that artistes are judged by their performance and not the role they are portraying on screen.

“I do not believe in the categories. I feel if I act well, people will definitely appreciate me and recognise me. In today’s time, it does not matter whether an actor is in supporting role or in the lead role. What matters is the performance.

“Earlier films used to revolve around only main leads, but now it has changed. Every actor in the film gets due importance and credits. Role of supporting actor is as equal as the role of protagonist in the films,” Pankaj told IANS.

Pankaj, who is currently riding high on the success of his latest entertainer Stree, a horror comedy, says that he found his character in the film quite challenging.
