Tripathi plays PR Man Singh, a former cricket player and manager of the World Cup winning team in the film. In an interview with PTI-Bhasha, the 45-year-old actor said that no one believed in his dream of becoming an actor in Bihar’s Belsand village but he made his dream come true just like the cricket team.
“I remember the line ‘Tumse na ho payega’ from ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’. The cricket team and I have had the same journey. The story of 83 and my journey is that the world can be a wonder. Wherever I come from, when I used to tell people in my village that I wanted to be an actor, they not only laughed but also used to suspect that I had gone mad.
Tripathi is one of the busy actors of the present time but he struggled for almost a decade and got recognition from Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ in 2012 and he went on to feature in ‘Newton’, ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, ‘Gurgaon’. ‘, ‘Masaan’, ‘Stree’ and proved to be the best actor in the series ‘Mirzapur’.
