Pankaj Tripathi talked about the role and the director Kabir Khan, and said that he was always inspired and impressed by Kabir’s films. “He is one of my favourite directors and we met a couple of times but never got an opportunity to work together. Then one day, he called me to narrate the story of 83 and at certain points, it made me tear up,” Pankaj Tripathi reminisces.
He added that he found the story inspiring, “I must have been around eight or nine at the time but I did read about the win in the papers. It’s an inspiring story and I leapt at the opportunity to be a part of the film.”
