Two acting powerhouses have come together for a commercial advertisement - Aamir Khan and Pankaj Tripathi. Directed by Suresh Triveni, Aamir’s goofy antics and Pankaj Tripathi’s straight-faced humour make the ad a delight. Aamir plays a Gujarati man in the video while Tripathi plays a stern shopkeeper.
Thoroughly enjoyed shooting this! Was an absolute pleasure to work with Suresh Triveni and of course @TripathiiPankaj. Big thank you to Aatish and JD for helping me out with the accent!, wrote Aamir as he took to social media.
Aamir Khan’s last film was the big budget film, Thugs of Hindostan that tanked at the box office. “I think we went wrong and I would like to take full responsibility for that. We tried very hard to make a good film and we didn’t hold back from putting in our entire effort, but somewhere or the other we went wrong. There are people who have liked the film and we are thankful to them, but they are in a minority. Most people didn’t like our film -- we are aware of that,” he said at a conference.
Pankaj Tripathi’s last outing was Stree while his series, Mirzapur is streaming on Amazon Prime.
