Manoj Bajpayee Aligarh

Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who was last seen Naam Shabana starring Akshay Kumar and Taapsee Pannu, said that he has made a career out of flop movies. The 47-year-old actor said that 'failures' and 'rejections' in life make a man stronger

The Shool star mentioned that he feels extremely honoured and also thanked everyone for their love and appreciation. On Twitter Mr Bajpayee wrote: "Thank you for your tremendous appreciation and love. Feeling extremely honoured"

"There was no apprehension in playing the role. Mentally, I was ready to do something risky in terms of people's mind sets. The way actors choose their scripts, there is a lot of insecurity in them as to what will happen but I have been a part of this industry for a long time," said Manoj

The Hansal Mehta-directed Aligarh is based on the life of Professor Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras, who was suspended from his job because of his sexual orientation. Manoj plays the role of Siras, and Rajkummar Rao plays a journalist, who tells Siras' story to the world

"This is Hansal Mehta's idea, we don't want to dirty our city with these posters, and we have been promoting with our own efforts till now, and this is one method to promote the film among the people," Manoj Bajpayee said. The actor plays a gay professor in the Hansal Mehta-directed film

Sanjay Dutt will be released from the prison on February 25. He was charged with illegal possession and destruction of an AK-56 rifle during the 1993 serial blasts. His release comes 103 days ahead of the official end of his prison term on the grounds of 'good conduct'

"I am very passionate about Hindi language. Satya made me a commercially successful actor. After that I slowly started getting work in this industry. The day I realised I am in a position to make demands, I decided not to read any director's script if it is not typed in Hindi. I am stubborn on this issue," said Manoj Bajpayee

"The script, the character, his life which went unnoticed are a few points which grabbed my attention. I realised that it's a great script and character and if I do it well, it will be an amazing milestone in my career. I feel that one will see many more films like Aligarh coming up in days to come," said Manoj Bajpayee

Ram Madhvani's Neerja, which casts Sonam Kapoor in the titular role, documents the story of Neerja Bhanot, who was killed in the 1986 hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi. Ms Bhanot, who was 23, died while shielding a group of children from gunfire and became the youngest ever recipient of the Ashok Chakra

"They love me. They don't judge me. This is the beautiful relationship that I have with my family. My parents, my wife and child. They love me and adore me for doing what I am doing," Manoj Bajpayee said. The actor is happy with the positive response that the trailer of the film has generated

Manoj Bajpayee said, "If you want to be sane, then you really have to switch off. This is what my psychiatrist told me 10-15 years back. I started working on it, and now I reached a point that after pack-up, I just switch off. I like to unwind by disturbing Hansal Mehta by knocking his door 50 times"

Aligarh, which also stars Manoj Bajpayee, is based on the real life story of Professor Shrinivas Ramchandra Siras of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), who was persecuted and ostracised for being gay. Manoj plays the protagonist and Rajkummar plays a journalist who reveals his story to the world. Aligarh will release on February 26

"If the makers feel it is not justified then let them take a public opinion on this. Tell me, is the subject of homosexuality for kids? For teenagers? We have already cleared the film and now they are creating a controversy. This is a cheap publicity stunt by him (Hansal Mehta)," said Mr Nihalani

The film is a brave attempt in a society which is quite homophobic.
