Ram Gopal Verma바카라™s film 1998 film 바카라˜Satya바카라™ has achieved a cult status over the years, and the film proved to be a game-changer in Manoj Bajpayee바카라™s career. 

As the film completes 25 years today, the actor says he will always be 바카라œindebted바카라 to both the film and RGV. 바카라œI didn바카라™t have a career when I did Satya. I was just getting some small roles here and there, and surviving in the city. Satya has given me a career. My career came in full shape after this film,바카라 the actor, who played a character called Bhiku Matre, said. 

Revealing how he landed the role, Manoj told Hindustan Times, 바카라œI was taken to Ramu by Kannan Iyer. When Ramu came to know I played Maan Singh in Bandit Queen, he jumped and said that I loved you in that film and I always wanted to give you work in my films, but please don바카라™t do Daud. But, I was insistent on doing the film Daud because it was giving me money and a role. Although it was a small role, I didn바카라™t mind it, because beggars can바카라™t be choosers,바카라 adding, 바카라œIf I look back, so many dialogues of Satya became so popular that they are famous even now. Topmost being, 바카라˜Mumbai ka king kaun?바카라™ I am not an actor who believed in dialogue-baazi, but I was just living in the character.바카라

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Going down memory lane, the 54-year-old actor recalled the time of the film바카라™s show, and said, 바카라œWe really didn바카라™t know how it was all going to turn out. The enthusiasm was that we were going to make something we always wanted to, with so much freedom to perform. We were improvising everyday, because we were given that freedom by the writers and directors to create and deliberate together.바카라

Asked if Satya created an impact on the industry, the actor quipped, 바카라œThere is an industry pre-Satya and an industry post Satya. You can actually see that difference very clearly. It has completely changed the way the industry looked at cinema and theatre actors. It바카라™s remarkable in the manner that it has given confidence to the new talents in every department. This is the magic that Satya has created. A young mind sitting in Lucknow or Patna could dream of coming to Mumbai and telling his/her story.바카라

He signed off by saying, 바카라œWe all thought that we are part of a fantastic film, but we could not foresee the amount of love or the euphoria it is going to create at the box office.바카라
