'Hum sudhar gaye, aur aap bigad gaye': Internet raves as Ranveer Singh comments on Pankaj Tripathi’s AI look

Actor Pankaj Tripathi grabbed attention after sharing AI-generated images of himself in a striking new look. Taking to Instagram, Pankaj called it "the beginning of something interesting," hinting at a possible new announcement or brand collaboration.

In the pictures, he sported a sheer black shirt under a long embroidered green coat, paired with a red and golden dhoti. He completed the outfit with a cap and traditional nagra. Pankaj posed with multiple expressions, giving the images a playful yet dramatic vibe. Captioning the post, he wrote, "Ek nayi shuruwat. This is the beginning of something interesting. How’s the vibe?" followed by emojis of a winking face and folded hands. He also used the hashtag #EkNayaUpgrade.

The post quickly drew reactions from fans and fellow actors. Ranveer Singh commented, "Arre! Yeh kya, Guruji?! Hum sudhar gaye, aur aap bigad gaye?" Tisca Chopra added, "Peaky Blinders India sneak peek." Other fans likened the look to a Ranveer Singh-inspired style or even compared it to choreographer Bosco Ceaser. Social media users noted the AI-generated nature of the images, with some saying Pankaj looked like he came from an alternative universe.

Pankaj and Ranveer have shared the screen in two films so far—Gunday (2014) and 83 (2021). Gunday, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, also featured Arjun Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and Irrfan Khan. In 83, directed by Kabir Khan, Ranveer played cricket legend Kapil Dev, alongside Deepika Padukone and other cast members.

Looking ahead, Ranveer will be seen in Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, starring alongside Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. The film is scheduled for release on December 5.

Pankaj will next appear with Aditi Rao Hydari in Parivarik ManuRanjan, directed by Varun V Sharma and produced by Vinod Bhanushali and Himanshu Mehra, with creative production by Ali Abbas Zafar. The release date has not been announced yet.

This bold new look by Pankaj, combined with the humorous reactions from Ranveer and fans, has made the post go viral, showing how even a seasoned actor can surprise audiences with unexpected style choices.
