Anand Kumar Bio-Pic Gets Its Villain In Pankaj Tripathy

The very talented Pankaj Tripathy will play the main antagonist in  Super 30 the  biopic  on the world-renowned  Bihari mathematician Anand  Kumar.

 Hrithik Roshan who plays the mathematician would be spending time with Tripathy who has a natural flair for cow-belt dialects.

Says a source, “Pankaj is very naturally a North Indian bloke.Although he is from UttarPradesh he doesn’t have to make an effort to sound like  a Bihari. In  fact many in the Super 30 team thought Pankaj was  the perfect  actor to play Anand Kumar. They resemble  one another in  body and speech. But the director Vikas Behl wanted a superstar for AnandKumar’s role to bring the audiences in  to watch the motivational story  of the maths genius  from  a humble background who coaches underprivileged but brilliant maths students free of  cost.”

Pankaj who had an  amazing 2017 with much-lauded  performances in Newton, Bareilly KiBarfi and  Gurgaon says he is happy to be part  of the film. “Every character every role is equally important to me. It doesn’t matter whether I play the hero or villain . I will look for the core of the character and play it as honestly as  I can.”
