The third season of TVF’s superhit series Panchayat is all over the internet and the raw flavor of the show is painted all over audiences’ hearts and minds. Among an ensemble cast, Pankaj Jha is one of those who has earned a separate fanbase for his impeccable acting and sequences in the show where he played the character of Vidhayak Ji.
Pankaj Jha calls out actors who cannot utter a single word but enjoy immense fame
Recently while speaking to Digital Commentary, Jha said that it is a tough job to say who is an actor and who isn’t because the one who isn’t an actor is the most popular. He continued, “Someone asked me my thoughts on the larger-than-life movies that are mounted on huge budgets and mint crores of rupees. I said it only reflects the IQ of our country, its level.”
He further stressed, “The IQ of our Indian audience is definitely low, just look at Hindi cinema and you’d know. The ones who can’t say one dialogue, who have never been able to say one dialogue, woh star bane hue hai bhai (they are the stars).”
The Black Friday actor shared that he often fails to decode the division of how actors are tagged hit or flop in the industry. “The ones whose names you took, there are more talented people than them in the industry but it is all about getting that opportunity”, Pankaj signed off.
