Manoj Bajpayee talks about movie Joram

It's about a father running into Jharkhand jungles

He narrates why he chose to do this film

NewsFirst Prime caught up with Manoj Bajpayee, the lead role in the movie Joram. 

The movie is releasing this December 8. 

He spoke to us on a potpourri of issues, ranging from the plot to the difficulty involved in handling a 3 ½ month-old baby. 

On his role 

This is about  a man on the run with his 3 ½ month baby. He is running to save himself and the baby. He is running from Mumbai to a jungle in Jharkhand. It is a long journey. There is nobody who he can go to, to seek help. It is in that journey that his story reveals. We also had a few screenings in big film festivals. It has got a very nice review. 

This role is completely different. This is what I look up to. It has to be a story I have never heard, never done or the world has never seen. This is my 98th movie. I work with such interesting directors who have given me unique stories. 

On difficulties involving the baby

It was most difficult to shoot with a baby. My heart was in my mouth. I was too stressed out throughout the movie. You have to perform, and at the same time, take care of the baby. You can do only one thing at a time. Her mother was there on the sets. We had to take extra care.
