Attempting a laugh riot in Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari, Manoj Bajpayee discusses why he steers clear of slapstick comedies.
A still from Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari
Manoj Bajpayee
The actor had a dream run with The Family Man last year. His next digital outing, the Netflix film Mrs Serial Killer, almost seemed an anomaly, given his judicious choice of scripts otherwise. "Not every film will be a landmark, but my character in the movie was crackling. Above all, I have great admiration for Shirish Kunder [director]. His potential remains untapped, and he is waiting to break out," says Bajpayee.
While four biographies on Bajpayee are being developed, there was also talk about a biopic being made about his journey from Belwa to Mumbai. "Who'd want to watch a film about me? I have given the biographers all the liberty, but I don't want to be [creatively involved in] any of them. I am a worshipper of democracy, so anyone can write whatever they want. My career has been a roller-coaster ride, but I'm happy with where I am and who I am. Life may knock me down, but it won't be long before I get up and start running again."
