Actor On Comparisons With Late Irrfan Khan In Metro In Dino

Upon the release, the comparisons with the late Irrfan Khan’s performance in Life in a... Metro quickly surfaced. In the 2007 film, Irrfan had played Monty, a memorable character paired with Konkona Sen Sharma. Now, in the spiritual sequel, Pankaj Tripathi shares the screen with Konkona as a married couple facing a midlife crisis.

However, Pankaj humbly shut down the comparisons. Speaking to Zoom, he said, “Yeh comparison bilkul nahi hona chahiye. Voh mere senior the aur main unka fan rahunga. Mere drama school ke senior the voh. Hum ek hi acting institute se seekhe hai. Main khud unke craft ko dekhke seekhta tha. Voh Irrfan sir hai, unki jagah hum sabke dilon mein hai."
