Since the start of his career, Manoj Bajpayee has frequently worked in experimental films. In a video interview with Ranveer Allahabadia for his YouTube podcast, Manoj acknowledged that he finds it difficult to comprehend Christopher Nolan’s use of time.
Manoj Bajpayee gets confused with the concept of time
The actor said, “Yaar dekho, Nolan mujhe samajh nahi aate zyada, main aapko sach me batau. Time ka jo concept hai na, mujhe samajhne me thodi dikkat hoti hai. Lekin koshish kar rha hu, uspe kuchh padh ke, usko samajhne ki. Oppenheimer mujhe zyada samajh nahi aati (Honestly speaking, I do not get Nolan and his films. I struggle to understand the concept of time. But I am trying to understand and learn by reading more about it. I don’t understand Oppenheimer either).”
He added, “Fir wo ek film thi unki war waali, World War 2 pe, Dunkirk. The one thing that has always disturbed me is the concept of war. LOC Kargil mujhe karte hue bhi pareshani ho rhi thi. Log marte hain, ek dusre ko log maar rhe hote hain. Bohot disturbing sachhai hai (Then he made a war film called Dunkirk based on World War 2. The one thing that has always disturbed me is the concept of war. When I acted in LOC Kargil, I found it really hard to do. People die and they kill each other. This is a very disturbing reality).”
Manoj Bajpayee forthcoming projects
With movies like Satya, Shool, Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar, Zubeidaa, Aks, and Pinjar, he later shot to popularity. The Family Man, a spy series starring Raj and DK, helped the actor become well-known as well. Manoj’s next project is an Indian-American co-production called The Fable, directed by Raam Reddy.
