“Language is not a problem for me. But I prefer Hindi film. Because that language is also interesting and I know it. I understand his feelings, the nuances of it very well,' said Pankaj Tripathi.

'I won't be able to bring out the feeling. Having said that, if someone can write a Hindi-speaking character for me, then I am open to working in any language film.' He added that he is working on so many Hindi projects that he has no time to “consider Hollywood or other language films”.

Forget Hollywood, I have got offers for Telugu, Malayalam films too. But I don't think I can do justice to those films. Because I can't speak those languages,' he added.
