"The search is always on and as the saying goes, it is always about your choices," Manoj Bajpayee said
With three National Awards and many critically-acclaimed films to his credit, Manoj Bajpayee says he is still looking for stories and roles that are extraordinary and explore an untapped side of the actor in him. Manoj Bajpayee, who has created a niche with many memorable projects across medium such as Satya, Shool, Raajneeti, Aligarh, Gangs Of Wasseypur movies and The Family Man series, said his search for unique roles is always on. "I've been lucky to get really good offers. I want to go beyond that and look for more interesting, extraordinary scripts and stories which people have not seen or witnessed. Roles that are nowhere close to anything I have done. The search is always on and as the saying goes, it is always about your choices," Manoj Bajpayee told PTI in an interview.
The actor admits that despite being in the business for many years, he still cannot predict the mood of the audiences beyond the fact that "they need a good story that can engage and entertain them". "And if it is not doing both, they will immediately reject it. They are unpredictable.
After working hard with extreme honesty, you can only pray for the success and wish the film to connect with the audience," he said.
