Pankaj Tripathi’s association with Sherdil began three years ago, when director Srijit Mukherji discussed the concept with him. The story — inspired by how poverty-stricken villagers near the Pilibhit Tiger Reserve would send their elderly family members to the forest as tiger prey so that they can claim compensation — was shocking and convincing in equal measure. That, coupled with the opportunity of collaborating with the National Award-winning director, was enough reason for Tripathi to give his nod to the project. “Srijit is an organic director who places his faith in his actors, and allows them to approach their characters in their unique ways. We both have a shared love for nature. We were recently discussing my trip to Tadoba National Park. We bond over movies and Bengali food. It was a memorable collaboration for us,” says the actor, who leads the satire, also starring Neeraj Kabi and Sayani Gupta. The movie was shot late last year in the Sunderbans.
