Have started doing less films because I'm tired now: Pankaj Tripathi
Mumbai (PTI): "When you're hungry, you tend to overeat" is how Pankaj Tripathi describes his drive to do quality work, which motivated him to take up as many projects as possible.
The actor, however, has now decided to slow down. This year he has had two releases so far, "OMG 2" and the latest "Fukrey 3".
"I have started doing less films, because I'm tired now. There are times when I don't remember when I gave this shot, and what happened, and for which film. This is not a good situation to be in. You can't be acting, 340 days and I was doing that. Now, I don't want to do that," Tripathi told PTI.
The actor, a graduate from the National School of Drama (NSD), said he did back-to-back projects as he was "hungry" for good work.
"I liked those stories and hence I decided to be a part of it. The issue is when you are hungry, you tend to overeat, and when you have good food served on a plate then you surely end up overeating. So, a similar thing was happening with me (as an actor). Like, there was a lot of work coming my way, and there was overeating happening," he said.
Tripathi's next release is "Main Atal Hoon", based on the life of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It is directed by Ravi Jadhav, best known for National Award-winning movies such as "Natarang" and "Balgandharva".
The film is scheduled to be released in December.

Pollution: Delhi Transport Department mandates colour-coded fuel for vehicles
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Transport Department has mandated vehicle owners in the National Capital Territory to affix colour-coded stickers on their vehicles to help identify fuel types to combat rising pollution levels.
According to a public notice issued by the department, the directive is in line with the Supreme Court's order dated August 12, 2018, and subsequent amendments to Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989.
The vehicle owners in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi will now be required to install chromium-based hologram stickers, the notice read.
The colour-coded stickers are designed to assist enforcement personnel in visually identifying a vehicle's fuel type during road checks.
The rule applies to both new vehicles, effective from April 1, 2019, and old vehicles, registered before March 31, 2019. Vehicle owners must ensure the stickers are affixed on their windscreens to comply with legal requirements, it said.
Owners of older vehicles are advised to contact their respective vehicle dealers for sticker installation, it read.
Additionally, an online booking facility is available for home installation of High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) along with the fuel-based colour-coded stickers through the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) website or via the Transport Department's portal, the statement said.
Non-compliance will attract penalties under the Motor Vehicles Act and Rules, and vehicle owners are urged to act promptly to avoid prosecution and ensure their vehicles meet the regulatory standards, it added.
The stickers contain details like the registration number, registering authority, a laser-branded PIN, and the engine and chassis numbers of the vehicles.
