Pankaj Tripathi kept long hair inspired by Sanjay Dutt

A very famous Indian movie actor named Pankaj Tripathi once talked about another actor he really looked up to, Sanjay Dutt.

When Pankaj was a student in the city of Patna, he loved Sanjay Dutt so much that he grew his hair long just like him.

He also tried to act like Sanjay Dutt in the way he behaved.

Pankaj says Sanjay Dutt was the only actor who ever inspired him.

He once stood in line to buy tickets for Sanjay Dutt's movie 'Sadak', but the crowd was rough.

During that crowd, Pankaj was hit with a stick called a lathi.

Years later, Pankaj got to act in movies with Sanjay Dutt, including 'Agneepath' and 'Dus'.

In 'Agneepath', Sanjay Dutt played a villain named Kancha Cheena.

Next, Pankaj will play his famous character Kaleen bhaiya again.

It shows how a young fan can grow up to work alongside his hero.
