Actor Manoj Bajpayee has always tried to do something unconventional than the mainstream cinema. For a long time his work was overshadowed by commercial cinema but lately, he's starting to get due credit for his skills and hardwork. OTT platforms have given him a new appropriate stage to showcase his amazing work after starring in projects like 'The Family Man', Manoj is being called the superstar of OTT. However, he feels like he doesn't deserve this title and there are others who justify it better than him.
He said, “If at all anyone who is a superstar of the OTT is I would say is KK Menon, Nawazuddin Siddique, Pankaj Tripathi or Jaideep Ahlawat, and others. They are doing such interesting work. Give these titles to them they did far better than me.
Manoj adds, “Believe me I don’t feel flattered when someone calls me a superstar, and secondly, I don’t believe in these tags and titles. Every film, every series we do, we are not sure how people are going to respond to it. Cinema and the series are writers’ and directors’ mediums, actors come second.
He concluded by sharing how the younger generation is showing interest in his work. He said, I am happy that the teenagers are showing a lot of interest in my work. They are going back into my past and digging up all those films that people have celebrated in the past and I’m so happy about the increase in the fan base, in the admirals, it’s way more than the titles and the tags.
