Artistry and media image

Tripathi is known as a method actor [38] and is widely recognised for his unconventional choices. [39] Namrata Joshi of The Wire termed him a "natural actor" and said, "Give Tripathi any role and he will make it his own with his signature style – minimalistic, effortless, unhurried." [40] The Hindu noted, "We have been encountering him more often on screen than for real, in one power-packed performance after another." [41] On his rise to success, A. Kameshwari of The Indian Express stated, "The actor, whose early roles are mostly credited as ‘unnamed character’, now has roles written specifically for him." [42]

"With popularity I feel I need to be more careful about choosing scripts. I now look for roles and projects that are entertaining, but also have some social message or subtext."

— Tripathi explaining his approach in choosing films [43]

Tripathi is known for his experimental roles, Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times feels he is not among those actors who'd get stuck in one type of role. She further added, "Tripathi's subtle portrayal of even the most dramatic character distinguishes him from many others in the business." [4] While he had his breakthrough with Gangs of Wasseypur, Tripathi is popular for his portrayal of Kaleen Bhaiya in Mirzapur, which according to The Statesman , has been an inspiration for many aspiring actors. [44]

His directors and producers, find him to be a natural and grounded actor. Raj Nidimoru said, "Given a specific or banal set of instructions, Tripathi would interpret it in a slightly different way and most of the times it would put a smile on your face." [45] Karan Anshuman, who directed him in Mirzapur, says, "I know he’s got this mimetic ability to be who he needs to be once the camera rolls. When he finds that perfect note, when he knows he’s got it (and the director knows he’s got it), he holds on to it with such fierce consistency that the slightest shifts only serve to elevate his performance." [45]

Tripathi is one of the highest paid OTT actors in India. [46] [47] For Newton, NDTV named him the "Best Actor" of 2017. [48] In 2020, Rediff.com placed him sixth in their "10 Best Actors" of the year list, for his performance in Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Ludo. [49]

Tripathi is an active celebrity endorser for brands such as Star Plus, Tata Tea, Redmi, Policybazaar among others. [50] [51] In November 2023, NPCI appointed him as the "UPI Safety Ambassador". [52] Along with his acting career, Tripathi has been associated to social causes such as tree plantation. [53] In 2023, he opened a library at a school in Belsand, Gopalganj, in his father's memory. [54] The Election Commission of India made Tripathi, the "National Icon" in 2022, to honour his association with ECI in creating awareness amongst voters. [55]
