Manoj Bajpayee: I don’t judge films on the basis of how much business it has done or will do

Manoj Bajpayee doesn’t blame anyone for the failure. Manoj also spoke about his movie decisions and how is afraid of doing wrong films. He has worked in the industry for more than two decades. He tries to focus on the highs. He also stated that the right role will come in time we just have to wait for it.


Manoj Bajpayee said, “It’s always in your hands, and nobody else’s if you do a ‘wrong’ film. I, for one, am always afraid of doing a wrong film, [a film] which doesn’t go with my conviction. I’m not proud of such films, but the decision [to do them] was mine. I took those decisions due to some severe circumstances. You have to convince yourself that you can sit at home and wait for the right role to come to you. I’m blessed to now have that much of patience to sit and do something else [rather] than take up something I don’t believe in.”


The actor further added, “I’ll never name these films because they were my decisions, and [being wrong] had nothing to do with the people who offered them to me rather, they had given me work. These films may have been wrong for me, but at that point of time, it helped me pay some bills. But I can proudly say that those wrong ones were few in my career.”


Manoj Bajpayee said he doesn’t believe in box-office collections of a particular film, “I don’t judge films on the basis of how much business it has done, or will do. A good film is a good film, irrespective of whether it does well [commercially] or not. If you go by that, my career is made of flop films! There are people who’re convinced that though Manoj’s films haven’t done well, they were great because I’ve done justice to them.”

Manoj Bajpayee will be seen next in 'Aiyaary' along with Sidharth Malhotra. The film is slated to release on 9th February.
