In an interview with Lallantop Cinema, Pankaj Jha seemingly accused Pankaj Tripathi of glamourising 'struggle'. He said that he does not like the word 'struggle' and he feels that people who choose to follow passion, should enjoy the journey. He shared that people in the industry often glamourise struggle and gave example. "Some people say they sold potatoes, others say they lived in a tiny house, some say they stole another actor's slippers. I feel every situation is a learning experience," he said. This statement has been connected by Pankaj Tripathi by many as it was the Luddo actor who once revealed that he had stolen Manoj Bajpayee's slippers.
Pankaj Jha went on to add that people who talk about struggle seem to have complexes. He feels that they have egos and get upset when not greeted. He said, "They get so upset that they refuse to work with you again, and they tell their friends to not work with you either. It's happened to me." The Panchayat star also revealed that he was the first choice to play Sultan in Gangs of Wasseypur but he was replaced by Pankaj Tripathi by Mukesh Chhabra.
Talking about Panchayat season 3, it will begin streaming on Prime Video from May 28. The trailer of the same was dropped on May 15.

It is going to be Pradhan ji vs Banrakas in the election and Sachiv ji will be in middle of all of it. Vidhayak ji will be in support of Banrakas.
