As everyone is aware, the South's film industries are enjoying a golden age, with support coming from all sides. Many Bollywood actors have been spotted appearing in the South. In truth, a few veterans had already come into contact. Even Pankaj had had numerous approaches, but the actor consistently turned down movie roles.

During his talk at the Goa International Film Festival of India, Pankaj Tripathi revealed that he had turned down multiple offers from the South.

Although I don't find language to be a hindrance, I favor Hindi cinema, he declared. Main uss language ko samajhta hoon, uski bhavnaon ko, nuances ko behtar samajhta hoon (I grasp the language better, understand its emotions and nuances better) is why I feel at ease with Hindi.

Pankaj Tripathi believes that his familiarity with Hindi will make it difficult for him to perform to the best of his ability. Despite approaches from Telugu and Malayalam producers, the Mimi actor said, "Forget Hollywood; I feel I won't be able to do those films credit since I won't be able to speak the language."
