Pankaj
Tripathi, after having his dream fulfilled by sharing screen space with
superstar Rajinikanth in the recently released Tamil film Kaala is now all
geared up to portray the role of a Malayali actor for his next, a biopic on adult
film star and Malayalam sensation, Shakeela Khan. Pankaj will soon start
shooting for the film and is supposed to play a character who was very
important in Shakeela Khan’s life. The film is based on the life of the
sensational actress and dancer who once ruled the South film industry, before
her major breakthrough in the limelight.
Pankaj
is diving into unchartered waters yet again with this role and has decided to
make sure his prep is thorough. The National Award winning actor doesn't want
to sound fake while delivering the dialogues and is therefore leaving no stone
unturned to execute his role perfectly.
For
his prep, the Masaan actor has decided to watch popular Malayalam films to get
the diction and nuances right as he will be required to speak basic Malayalam
throughout the film. He has also been watching Hindi movies starring various
Malayalam actors and has been picking up their accent from the films, ensuring
he enunciates correctly. He wants to sound real and doesn't want to sound off
because that wouldn't do justice to his character. “I’ve watched the original
Malayalam film which inspired Billu and many other films in curtain pieces, not
entirely. I love Malayalam films. They make them so beautifully. Their story
telling skills are brilliant. This role is very new to me; I have never done
something like this before. I always try that I don’t copy the caricature. So
it’s an original portrayal and I will mould it according to the feedback I
receive from the director and the writer. Of course, I will say that it’s a
very colourful role. There’s a particular type of body language, a hierarchy to
it, a kind of status play as well. So let’s see. I hope the audience likes it
as they have liked my other performances so far.”
When
it comes to picking his roles, Pankaj has always gone for the parts that
interest him the most. Every character he has played on screen has been a
shadow of people he has interacted with in his life. Doing justice to his role
is something all actors strive for and the Gurgaon actor is definitely amongst
those who like to execute their characters to the T.
