Pankaj Tripathi to star in Srijit Mukherji’s next titled ‘Sherdil’

Bollywood actor, Pankaj Tripathi has come a long way, thanks to the rich content-driven films and shows he chooses to work. Speaking of which, after finishing the long-awaited sequel to OMG with Akshay Kumar, he has now begun filming for Srijit Mukherji's next film, 'Sherdil.'

Pankaj, who plays the lead in the film, will appear alongside Neeraj Kabi and Sayani Gupta. The filming of 'Sherdil,' which was supposed to begin in 2020, was delayed due to the pandemic. 

Pankaj talks about working with Srijit Mukherji, "Srijit is a fabulous director. He needs no introduction. His work speaks for itself. When Sherdil was offered to me, I jumped on the idea. The story has a definite character in itself. It is a beautifully written script and I trust Srijit to bring each character to life convincingly. That's his USP”

Meanwhile, according to the director, "Pankaj Tripathi is one of the finest actors in the country today. Having him on set is half the battle won. He is always excited to try new things and improvise when need be. He is a director's delight."
