Manoj Bajpayee on being discovered in Bollywood late, comparison with Irrfan & competition with SRK

There’s absolutely nothing an actor like Manoj Bajpayee cannot do! The actor, who was given the Indian film industry and the OTT space several outstanding projects, recently sat down for a hearty chat with Bollywood Bubble host Rashita Sahni. He was joined by his upcoming film Joram’s director Devashish Makhija. Manoj opened up about being discovered in Bollywood quite late, having no regrets about his career and making way for himself when everyone around him wanted to cast him in just side roles. He also spoke about his friendship with the late Irrfan Sahab and how the industry didn’t know what to do with actors like them. When asked if he was ever insecure about actors like Irrfan or Shah Rukh Khan, Manoj candidly replied saying he has never been an insecure actor. Devashish, on the other hand, talked about the emotional toll their film Joram put them through and how challenging it is to be an indie director even today. He also talked about Aditya Chopra and his way of filmmaking. Watch the full conversation here!
