Actor Manoj Bajpayee recently discussed his experiences working with director Ram Gopal Varma, who saw the actor’s promise and gave him a significant break in the business with the film Satya. The actor is currently promoting his upcoming movie Gulmohar. Manoj spoke candidly about how the “tripped out” director altered how the business produced movies.
He referred to RGV in an interview as “courageous.” Manoj responded, “Because he is tripped out, he made Satya, Shiva, and Rangeela,” when Ranveer asked him to describe his interactions with the director. He created Kaun, Company, and Shool. The business was altered by that man. He produced countless actors and assistant directors for the business. RGV changed the way the film industry produced movies at the time; that one individual, ek chalan chal raha tha industry mein ek khaas tarike ki filmon ka, us aadmi ne pure ke pure tharre ko badal diya. If he hadn’t been tripped out… Tripped-out individuals are brave individuals.
Manoj, who made his acting debut in Drohkaal (1994), became well-known for his outstanding portrayal in Satya (1998). Following the movie Bandit Queen, in which Manoj had a minor role, RGV was the only person who wished to collaborate with him. Manoj responded, “That’s a good question, you should ask him,” when Ranveer pressed him further about why he believed RGV no longer directed movies. Manoj added that although he doesn’t always agree with RGV’s viewpoints, he enjoys listening to him because of his “amazing philosophy about modern relationships and the modern world.”
He “has his own way of doing things,” “has his own philosophy, and walks on his own principles,” (Woh apni dhoon mein chalne wale aadmi hai). He is a very intelligent guy, and I love his outlook on contemporary relationships and the modern world. I enjoy hearing what he has to say, even if I don’t agree with him,” the actor said.
Starting on March 3, Gulmohar, which also stars Sharmila Tagore, will be available for viewing on Disney + Hotstar. He will shortly begin filming for season 3 of Raj and DK’s The Family Man.
