Pankaj Tripathi was seen for the first time in the 2004 film Run. He has indeed come a long way in his illustrious journey that's all set to witness a lot more highs. It was Anurag Kashyap's two-part crime drama Gangs of Wasseypur in 2012 when people began to notice him as an actor. With the success of the web series, Mirzapur, the fan following only doubled.

As the second season of the show is all set to drop on October 23, Tripathi spoke with Supriya Nair of mid-day.com and spoke about a lot of things, right from his most intense scene to how his moniker in Mirzapur has become massively popular.
