    Manoj Bajpayee Says He's 'Not Dying' To Work In Hollywood Despite Getting Offers: It Has To Be Respectable

    Manoj Bajpayee is a rare breed of talent in Bollywood and his work speaks volumes for him not just in the country but across borders. Given the international recognition of his projects it seems highly unlikely that the actor hasn’t caught the attention of Hollywood filmmakers.

    On being asked about offers from Hollywood a straightforward Manoj tells Hindustan Times, “I keep getting offers, I won’t deny that. It has to be respectable. I am not dying to go there and start from scratch just because it’s Hollywood.”


    Having said that the actor clarified that he has immense respect for Hollywood that has inspired generations of cinema and added that the respect and offers he’s getting here if he gets the same there or even a bit less he would consider it.  

    Manoj whose latest film Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari has been the first fresh film to release in cinemas months post the lockdown was imposed also shared his opinion on Bollywood and if he feel he’s potentially peaked in career here.  “The Bollywood you are talking about, they still don’t know what to do with us. We work off Bollywood, like there’s off-Broadway. In the city itself, I have always stayed on the fringe and worked from there,” the actor told the publication as he concluded.
