Actually, Pankaj was acting in a play named ‘Chief Minister’. In this, he played the role of Secretary to the Chief Minister.
Richard liked Pankaj’s performance in this drama so much that he was handed over the role of Pyare Lal Nair, the second secretary of Gandhiji.
Pankaj believed that his face was similar to Pyare Lal Nair. Perhaps this is why he was called.
Pankaj also hit a four on the spot and was shortlisted.
