Pankaj Tripathi's 11-minute Monologue In 'Sacred Games 2'

In the second season of the Netflix hit, Pankaj will be seen as the elusive Guruji, who is also known as Ganesh Gaitonde's ‘teesra baap'.

"While filming a particular scene in 'Sacred Games 2', I was required to deliver a monologue in one go, which, to me, was one of the most challenging sequences I have shot for so far," Pankaj said, adding: "It was a magical experience and I had a great time shooting for that particular shot.

I remember Anurag Kashyap asking me to deliver it once again, since nobody knew it would take as long as it did. So, for technical purposes, we did it all over again," he added.

Who better to play the intriguing Guruji than Pankaj Tripathi? His elusiveness set the stage for the new season and we finally get to see him perform. Speaking about the psyche of his character in Season 2, he says, "Guruji is that tsunami whose impact is hard to gauge from its origin. You’ll have to watch the entire season twice to understand every move he makes.” #SacredGames2
