I am always afraid of doing a wrong film: Manoj Bajpayee

The National Award winning actor, Manoj Bajpayee has done some memorable work till now. Even if his films must not have worked commercially but, he makes sure to amaze the audience with his acting skills.

While we have heard few actors either blaming the script or the filmmakers for having a flop film or career but this talented actor blames no one for bad films. "It's always in your hands, and nobody else's if you do a 'wrong' film," says Manoj. "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," said Manoj.

He further adds, "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."

However, when the actor was asked to name those wrong films he replied, "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 in time, it helped me pay some bills. But I can proudly say that those wrong ones were few in my career."

While for many actors box-office collection is the most important but, for Manoj a good film matters the most. "I don't judge films on the basis of how much business it has done, or will do," he says. "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," he added further.

Meanwhile, Manoj is currently busy promoting his upcoming film "Aiyaary" that also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh. The film is set to hit the screens on February 9, 2018.
