Meatier role for Tripathi

One of the most talked about web shows, Sacred Games, on Netflix starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Saif Ali Khan, Radhika Apte and Pankaj Tripathi closed the first season last year with an open end. The makers of the show Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane are now all geared up and have started shoot of second season in Cape Town, South Africa. Actor Pankaj Tripathi too has joined the team in South Africa. In the previous installment of Sacred Games, Pankaj was seen playing the role of one of the bosses of Nawazuddin. In season 2, it is expected Pankaj will have a meatier role and will be seen throughout the series-parallel to other lead characters of the show.

In the book, Sacred Games, by Vikram Chandra, Pankaj Tripathi’s role is written as one of the powerful characters. It is also learnt Pankaj will finish his first international schedule in Cape Town and later will commence shooting in Mumbai.
