There was a misunderstanding about one thing: Manoj

Both of us were enjoying our lives separately: Manoj

Yash Chopra didn’t want to give me false hope: Manoj

Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee’s role as Sardar Khan in Gangs of Wasseypur directed by Anurag Kashyap was something which remains memorable till date. It has been more than a decade since the film first released, but Manoj and Anurag haven’t collaborated together ever since. “There was a misunderstanding about one thing, and we didn’t talk about it. Now it has become so big on social media that sometimes when embarrassment occurs, things are exaggerated. We didn’t talk because I felt, he wasn’t making films of my type, and he also felt that there was no need for Manoj Bajpayee right now because his career was going down. So both of us were enjoying our lives separately, he didn’t need me, and I didn’t need him,” Manoj said in an interaction with Bollywood Bubble.

Manoj also talked about his conversation with late director Yash Chopra after Veer Zaara. Manoj played the roe of Preity Zinta’s husband fiance in the film. “He 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, but at the same time, he had a lot of respect for me as an actor. He liked my work a lot, and also said that as long as Veer Zaara exists, people will praise you, which is true. Wherever I go, people are talking about it,” Manoj remarked.
