Manoj Bajpayee shared one of his interesting interactions with late film director-producer Yash Chopra.

Manoj Bajpayee is one of the finest actors in the country. He is also known for keeping it real, even off the screen. He keeps it candid and honest in interviews. In one such interview, Manoj Bajpayee shared one of his interesting interactions with late film director-producer Yash Chopra. While speaking to an entertainment portal, he said: “Nahi, (Yash ji ne) wada nahi kiya but kaha thi ki tumhari tarike ki filmein hi nahi banata. Tumhare jaise logon ki filmein nahi banata toh main kaha se tumhe vaada kar du aur wo bohot achi baat lagi mujhe. Toh wo mujhe false hope nahi dena chahte the mujhko (No, Yash ji didn’t make a promise, but he did say that he doesn’t make films like I do. I liked that a lot. He didn’t want to give me false hope)”. Manoj Bajpayee added that at the same time, Yash Chopra had a lot of respect for him as an actor. He liked Manoj Bajpayee’s work a lot. Yash Chopra even said that as long as Veer Zaara exists, people will praise Manoj Bajpayee, which the actor believes is true. Manoj Bajpayee added that wherever he goes, even today, people talk about the film.

Manoj Bajpayee worked with Yash Chopra in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Veer Zaara back in 2004. The duo never collaborated again.

In another interview a month back, Manoj Bajpayee boldly spoke about cinema and its connection to revolution. He said cinema alone can’t bring about a revolution, but can be a tool to kickstart movements. “Cinema can be a mirror of our time. Cinema can’t start movements. It can be part of the movement. Cinema can’t do anything alone. Every ruler has used cinema or art in their own way,” Manoj Bajpayee said.

Manoj Bajpayee’s latest film Bhaiyya Ji released today. The film is directed by Apoorv Singh Karki. The duo previously worked on the film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, which premiered on Zee 5.
