Pankaj Tripathi Draws Parallels Between Kadak Singh And Animal: 'Audience Exists For Both'

Following his remarkable performances in movies such as 'OMG 2' and 'Fukrey 3,' Pankaj Tripathi continues his streak with a third release this year, featuring in 'Kadak Singh.' Directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, the movie delves into the complex dynamics between a father and his daughter. Recently, Tripathi has drawn intriguing comparisons between this film and Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 'Animal.

In an interview with DNA, the actor said, "It didn’t exist earlier. After the arrival of OTT, the scope of cinema has become larger. It was impossible to do all this earlier. Kadak Singh talks about the same relationship (as Animal) but in such a different manner, almost North-South Pole. Audience exists for both."

He added, "This is the time when we can do a film like Kadak Singh. Ten years ago, it wasn’t possible. OMG 2 was not possible 10 years ago. You couldn’t think about discussing s*x and s*x education in a film. People would say ‘Ye kya hai' (What is this). But we are doing it now. So the time has changed."

The actor further shared, "I had never thought there would be memes on me. Of course, there was no concept of memes back then, but I had never thought people would mimic me in my lifetime. Now, there are 5-6 people doing it. I have met a few of them. I tell them it’s good because I came to Mumbai to earn money and now, you are earning money by copying me."

Speaking of Kadak Singh, the movie boasts a talented ensemble featuring Pankaj Tripathi, Jaya Ahsan, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Sanjana Sanghi in pivotal roles. Helmed by director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, this production is brought to life by WIZ Films and KVN Productions, produced by Viraf Sarkari and Mahesh Ramanathan.
