It is without a doubt that Manoj Bajpayee is one of the most talented actors in our country. His body of work and his terrific portrayal of characters brought him the best actor status. He received many laurels, accolades and awards for his performances. The Gen Z kids might know him from ‘Family Man’ but the 90’s kids know him as Bhiku Matre from ‘Satya’. He can play any character with equal ease and panache. So, it is quite common for such an actor to get linked with big projects.
Reports suggested that he was approached for the police officer’s role in ‘Pushpa: The Rule’ which is a continuation of the 2021 film ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ which became a blockbuster all over the nation. There are humongous expectations on the second part of Pushpa and with Manoj Bajpayee’s name attached to the film, the audience became quite excited. But the ‘Vedam’ actor was quick to dismiss them. He said, “No truth! False news! That’s all I can say!”
Apart from acting in many Bollywood movies, he has also worked in a couple of South Indian films too. Some of them are ‘Vedam’, ‘Happy’, ‘Puli’, ‘Anjaan’ and others. He is known for his straight and bold answers. During the interview for Delhi Times, he talked about South Indian films working so well in the North.
Praising the South films, he said, “They are unapologetic, they are passionate, and every shot they take as if they are taking the best shot in the world…They shoot a film as they have envisioned it, they don’t dumb it down for the audience because they hold their audience in the highest regard and their passion is supreme. If you see Pushpa or RRR or KGF, the making of it – it is immaculate. Each and every frame is actually shot in a manner as if it were a life and death situation. This is what we lack.”
