When we get on a call with Manoj Bajpayee, he opens the conversation, saying, “You’ll be proud of me by the end of this year.” We immediately respond that we’re almost always proud of him and his films. Easily one of the finest Hindi actors of our generation, Bajpayee has built a robust filmography, and shone bright last year with Gulmohar, Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, and Joram. For 2024, he has an equally diverse slate, beginning with Netflix’s crime series, Killer Soup that also stars Konkona Sen Sharma and is helmed by Abhishek Chaubey.
“What I’m looking forward to in 2024 is the result of my love for a variety of genres,” says Bajpayee. “Last year, if I had the middle-of-the-road Gulmohar, I did a
content-heavy project like Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai and an independent movie, Joram. Similarly, this year, there will be mainstream, middle-of-the-road and independent cinema. I begin with Killer Soup, then there is the [sequel to] Silence… Can You Hear It?, director Raam Reddy’s Pahadon Mein that is travelling to many film festivals, and Kanu Behl’s investigative thriller Despatch.”
