Manoj Bajpayee thanks Kangana Ranaut for bringing out the truth of nepotism

Manoj Bajpayee has been in the industry for more than two decades now. The actor has made a mark for himself with films like ‘Satya’, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Aligarh’ etc. Recently, in an interview with India Today, he was asked about the whole nepotism issue that is happening in the industry, and he said thanked Kangana for getting it out.

The actor said, “I would like to thank Kangana (Ranaut) for bringing it out into the open. But the kind of films and roles I do, were never in competition with any star kid. Their aspirations are completely different. In fact, when I started doing these roles and getting recognition, few of these stars started doing these content-driven films. I’m very happy to say that they never impacted me, rather my films have impacted them. I admire Kangana as an actor, and as someone who knows her mind. How true or false the existence of nepotism is, is for the people who indulge in it to answer.”

Talking about award shows, Manoj said, “Award shows in India really need to buck up because now, people want these shows to be credible and fair. They should make the nominations and jury system much more transparent to the public. They should also take away the singing and dancing, and make it purely an award show. If you make it an event, you have to sell the satellite rights. To sell the satellite rights, the channel will need some commercial faces to get the endorsements. And to get those faces, either you get them as guests or you have them dancing or getting awards.” (Also Read: Manoj Bajpayee: Nobody can play Om Puri better than me)
