When Manoj did not get work after doing Satya and Shool

During a conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Manoj Bajpayee was asked about his initial struggling phase when he was not getting work. The actor replied that after doing a cult blockbuster film like Satya, he was sitting in his home for months as he did not have work. He further revealed that even after he did Ram Gopal Verma’s cult film Shool, he did not get work, not even after doing films like Kaun? and Aks. He said, “I did good work, people praised me but did not give me work.”

Speaking further, Manoj said that if today someone comes with work to you, you must respect your contemporary time and the work they offer. The actor revealed that maybe because of the initial struggle phase, he is so passionate and true to his work now. He feels grateful for this current moment where he gets to do the kinds of roles and films that were not coming to him earlier.
