Manoj Bajpai harbors no ambitions of becoming a superstar in Bollywood. What he craves for is a variety of sensible and challenging roles that will test his credentials as an actor.
Ever since the start of his acting career under Bollywood’s arc lamps, Manoj has been known for the variety of roles he plays in films. However, the man has an appetite for more and more.
In the coming days Manoj will be seen as a rustic guy who seeks redemption for his sins in Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s Pinjar which is set against the backdrop of Indo-Pak partition. Also in the offing is JP Dutta’s ‘LoC’ and another film titled Jaago. In all these films Manoj will be seen in character-based roles.
"I have this inner urge, inner compulsion that drives me to do different kinds of films. I would welcome anything revolutionary or different that challenges the artiste in me," Manoj recently said in an interview to a leading agency.
