Pankaj Tripathi has advocated for many causes that plague small town individuals and those belonging to rural villages. However, even the actor admits that it is only during his association with a particular film that he is made aware of issues that need to be addressed.
Srijit Mukherji’s Sherdil sheds light on an uncomfortable event that transpired at the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve. In a bid to claim compensation from the administration, villagers would leave the elderly in their family for tigers to prey on. The crimes only came to light after multiple incidents made the forest authorities suspicious.
