Pankaj Tripathi explains why he prefers Bollywood over Hollywood and regional cinema

Pankaj Tripathi stated in a recent interview that he does not find language to be a problem and prefers Bollywood to Hollywood and regional movies, according to Hindustan Times.

Pankaj said, "While language is not a barrier for me, I prefer Hindi cinema. It's because I am comfortable with Hindi, main uss language ko samajhta hoon, uski bhavnaon ko, nuances ko behtar samajhta hoon (I understand the language better, I understand its emotions and nuances better)."

He further added, "Forget Hollywood, I get offers from Telugu and Malayalam filmmakers but I feel I won't be able to do justice to those films because I won't be able to speak the language.”
