Manoj Bajpayee on his reunion with Ram Gopal Varma
In an interview with Mid-Day, Manoj Bajpayee announced his reunion with filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma. The actor said he is doing Varma's next project. "As soon as the script is ready and a window opens in my schedule, we’ll do it. It’s not a gangster film, but it will be a vintage Ram Gopal Varma film," revealed Manoj.
When asked about what people can expect from their next, the actor shared, "[A few months ago], Ramu called me saying that he has a story developing in his mind; he hasn’t shared [the details]. Ramu has given me a career, and I always tell him that if he asks me to stand in any frame, I will stand there. He’ll call me after a few days with the storyline."
He further praised the director and values Ram's 'rebellious streak' the most. Manoj mentioned that the filmmaker brings 'unpredictability' to the scenes. The actor loves the fact that Varma is unpredictable. "There is a rebel in him even at this stage, a revolt against all that is conventional. That makes his films far more exciting," he added.
