I’m not on back-slapping terms with Prakash Jha: Manoj Bajpayee
Actor Manoj Bajpayee plays a villain in Prakash Jha's next,adjustable Lever, Satyagraha. The actor has worked with Jha several times in the past, yet he says the two are not exactly friends. "You are friends with people who are usually around the same age as you. Jha is much senior to me and I have immense respect for him. I am friends with Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Pandey,Motorcycle Racing Parts, but not Prakash Jha. I am not on back-slapping terms with him." Manoj, who usually doesn't like to play completely dark roles, says he made an exception this time. "I play the villain, Balram Singh,motorcycle levers, in the movie. He has a comic side to him, and that is what actually tempted me to take on this role. He is also very cunning and shrewd, unlike any other character I have played till date," he explains. Ask Manoj if playing serious roles gets him worried about being typecast, and he says that is exactly what he has always wanted. "After 20 years, I am enjoying it. This is what I always wanted to be known as. Breaking new ground and yet holding your own is not easy in today's times. You are loaded with responsibilities, but it's great. There was a time when I was sitting at home and twiddling my thumbs, refusing the regular stuff that came my way. Today, I am working at break-neck speed and I have no complaints," he says. The actor says the buzz around the film is great and the reviews have been positive. "The reactions to the promos have been fantastic. People have been repeating my dialogue everywhere. I just hope people like the film and it turns out to be a box-office hit," he says. Satyagraha, produced by Prakash Jha Productions and UTV Motion Pictures, releases August 30.
