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, 바카라œIt바카라™s 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, 바카라œThe 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 won바카라™t evolve. These new directors have grown up on world cinema. They haven바카라™t 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 don바카라™t let me sleep. They want me to distance myself from what I바카라™ve done in the past.바카라

On mainstream streams, the actor has recently featured in several films like 바카라˜Baaghi 2바카라™, 바카라˜Mrs Serial Killer바카라™, and 바카라˜Satyameva Jayate바카라™. He will be seen in the Disney+ Hotstar film 바카라˜Gulmohar바카라™ this Friday.
