Manoj Bajpayee On Working With New Directors: I Try To Work With Voices Who Tell Stories In New Ways

Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who is known for his work in offbeat cinema, is known to lent support to up-and-coming directors.

Manoj Bajpayee is certainly one of the most respected Indian actors of his generation, and apart from starring in mainstream films, he is known for his work in offbeat cinema. In fact, he has often lent support to up-and-coming directors, to the point that he has not worked with established filmmakers since long. 

During a discussion at the Arth Culture Fest, Bajpayee opened up on working with new directors and said in Hindi, 바카라It바카라s been years since I stopped working with famous directors. I would try and work with new voices, who were telling stories in new ways. This is how I ended up doing films like Budhia Singh, Gangs of Wasseypur, Missing, Special 26, Gali Guleyan, Rukh, Bhosle, and now Joram and Gulmohar.바카라

He continued, 바카라The reason I want to work with new directors is that these people are young, they have new ideas. Their expectations from their actors are completely different. As an actor, I always want to keep evolving, and this bothers me. If I keep working with older filmmakers, I won바카라t evolve. These new directors have grown up on world cinema. They haven바카라t grown up watching only Hindi films. They watch Malayalam films, they watch Tamil films, they watch Telugu films, they watch European films, American films. This is good for me, because they challenge me, they bother me, they don바카라t let me sleep. They want me to distance myself from what I바카라ve done in the past.바카라

On mainstream streams, the actor has recently featured in several films like 바카라Baaghi 2바카라, 바카라Mrs Serial Killer바카라, and 바카라Satyameva Jayate바카라. He will be seen in the Disney+ Hotstar film 바카라Gulmohar바카라 this Friday.
