The National Award-winning actor Pankaj even said that cinema has created a stereotype that a doctor looks like this and an engineer looks like this. He even said that during auditions, even junior artists are required to look affluent and elegant. He said that in films we see Katrina Kaif as doctors, but asked how many times have we seen them at AIIMS? He even said that the overall situation is changing now.
On the work front, Pankaj will be seen in Main Atal Hoon which will be directed by Ravi Jadhav and presented by Bhanushali Studios Limited and Legend Studios.
