Pankaj Tripathi said that he relates with the character of Lal Bihari Mritak, he said, ”I too had a journey of 17-18 years in Mumbai before I could prove myself as an actor. So his and my fight for identity is similar.”

When the actor was asked whether he feels a responsibility as a protagonist, he replied, “Be it a small or a big role, there is always a responsibility towards doing your job with honesty and to the best of your caliber. Over here, the responsibility didn’t increase as such, but I did know that all eyes will be on my performance. So I had to work harder. An artiste does become more aware in such a scenario,”

The actor said that he was having a same root connection with the character, “I belong to the same region in terms of culture and language. I hail from a place that’s 100 kilometers away from Azamgarh (Lal Bihari’s place). So his world wasn’t new to me,” he said.
