You all have seen only 20% of me: Manoj Bajpayee

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 27 Desember 2012 | 21.44

Manoj Bajpayee sure has set a new benchmark with his performances in Gangs Of Wasseypur (GOW), Chittagong and Chakravyuh. He currently has Prakash Jha's Satyagraha, which starts in February, followed by A Wednesday-director Neeraj Pandey's next production.

When asked what does he look for in a movie, Manoj says, "A great script, something that has never been told or enacted before. I'm also looking forward to working with some fine directors like Vishal Bhardwaj, Dibakar Banerjee, Shoojit Sircar, besides Prakash Jha and Neeraj Pandey. Waiting is not something new to me. After Satya, I waited eight to nine months before Shool happened." Further, the actor asserts that he's learnt from his past mistakes and is not in a hurry to sign films in desperation. "Good scripts are not in abundance. Even if a good role is being written, it doesn't mean the director will offer it to me. So that makes my wait longer. As long as my bank balance doesn't start depleting, it doesn't matter," he smiles.

His power-packed performance in GOW got him many compliments. But the one that he cherishes the most was a message from his Satyagraha co-star Amitabh Bachchan. "By the time I finished reading Amitji's message, I had tears in my eyes. I felt all the hard work has paid off," he says.

Right now, the actor is looking forward to Special Chabbis and Shootout At Wadala. "When I saw A Wednesday, I was blown away by the structure of the script. That pushed me to call Neeraj incessantly. It's been a great learning experience to be directed by him," he says. About Shootout..., he says, "Sanjay Gupta has done a brilliant job of creating an aura around my character Sabir Ibrahim. I enjoy working with Sanjay, cracking jokes and having white wine and pasta with him. His technique fascinates me."

When he is not working, the actor spends time with his daughter Ava Nayla and wife Shabana. Question him if he's happy with the way his career has shaped up since Satya and the actor says, "I'd say you all have seen only 20% of Manoj Bajpayee. I'm waiting for a director who challenges me with a different role. I'd love to work with Anurag (Kashyap) again and again. He's written Satya, Shool, Kaun and now GOW."

When asked whether he has got his due in his 15-year career span, he replies, "It's too soon for me to say whether I've got my due. Don't be in a hurry, you're yet to see the remaining 80% of Manoj Bajpayee. Wait for 10 years, I've to do 50 more films before I decide whether I've got my due or not."
