Manoj Bajpayee is one of the finest talents in the country, a powerhouse of an actor with piercing performances. However, despite giving some of the most remembered and revered films, the actor feels there's still something missing in terms of acclaim and validation.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actor shed light on how he has been ignored at award functions and why he feels the audiences aren't interested in watching his films. He gave an example and stated, "It happened before Pinjar (2003). When such a great film didn't see that kind of footfalls in theatres, and not even nominated at any mainstream award functions, it completely, I wouldn't say disillusioned, it actually put the truth right in front of my eyes."
