Manoj Bajpayee interview: ‘It’s time to line up at the box office of democracy’
The Hindu
As Manoj Bajpayee completes three decades and a hundred films, he talks about the salience of silence in his performances, working with new-age filmmakers and leading the pack in Bhaiyyaji, and his feelings about election season
Every few years we see a resurgence in Manoj Bajpayee’s career. Clocking 30 years in an industry that throws up a new hero every other week, Manoj is busier than ever before. After wowing the OTT audience with Gulmohar and Ek Banda Hi Kaafi Hai, the festive circuit with Joram and The Fable, Manoj is returning to mainstream space with Bhaiyyaji next month. Before that, he is traversing his favourite middle ground with Silence 2 on ZEE5.
“Sunne se gyan badhta hai, bolne se dambh (listening makes you learn, speaking fills you with arrogance),” says Manoj during a freewheeling chat.
