Pankaj Tripathi talks about Fukrey 3 

Actor Pankaj Tripathi, whose character of 'Pandit ji' from the Fukrey franchise is loved by one and all, said that the films that make people laugh are closer to the audience. Talking about what makes people love the franchise so much, he said, "I feel relatability. Ten years back when the first part came, it made people laugh so much and like us, the audience has also grown up with the film. They laughed ten years back and got connected with the characters of the film. Also, I feel, we don't give the right credit to comedy films. When you make somebody laugh, you give them the moments of thoughtlessness that meditation gives after years of practice. So, films that make people laugh are closer to them. I feel this is a different way of seeing a comedy film."
