As the 44-year-old recalled the times when he was a struggling actor, he mentioned how it was very difficult earlier, to even get to know where a film is being shot.
He shared that as he went to the set, he would be often told that the film unit has shot and already gone.
While Pankaj Tripathi opened up about his struggling days in the film industry, he explained that there was no social media and concept of a casting director when he started off as an actor.
He added, “Of course that has changed. The more difficult it was to search for work before, it is to refuse a film now because of date issues.”
