Actor Manoj Bajpayee, reflecting on his 30-year career in Hindi cinema, emphasizes his "extreme passion for cinema" as the key factor for his survival in the industry. Bajpayee, who made his debut in 1994 with "Droh Kaal" and gained fame with his role in "Satya" (1998), acknowledges the challenges but expresses gratitude for the love and passion that keeps him connected to his craft.
Known for his versatile performances in films like "Raajneeti," "Gangs of Wasseypur," and "Aligarh," Bajpayee became a household name with his role as an intelligence agent in the Prime Video series "The Family Man." His latest venture is the crime series "Killer Soup," set to premiere on Netflix on January 11, where he will be seen in a double role for the first time.
Bajpayee, who has been a strong proponent of middle-of-the-road cinema, praises director Abhishek Chaubey for knowing how to bring out the best in him. The actor has consistently delivered impactful performances, often portraying characters dealing with loneliness and inner struggles, earning critical acclaim for his roles in films like "Shool," "Aligarh," "Gali Guleiyan," and "Bhosle."
Reflecting on his affinity for roles that explore loneliness, Bajpayee notes that while he is not a lonely person himself, the concept of loneliness and the quest for something indefinable have always intrigued him. The upcoming series "Killer Soup," set in the fictitious town of Mainjur, features an ensemble cast and adds another dimension to Bajpayee's rich and varied career.
