Manoj Bajpayee said, makers give me poor people’s roles, I have problem in portraying myself as rich


Manoj Bajpayee has proven himself to be a strong actor in the industry. Everyone is waiting for his upcoming web series The Family Man 3. During an interview, Manoj Bajpayee told that he does not get roles of rich people. He only gets middle class or lower middle class type stories.

Maharaja can look normal too

Manoj Bajpayee is considered a versatile actor by his fans. However, he says that he gets only one kind of role. Talking to Bombay Times, Manoj said, ‘Before playing the role of a rich man in Gulmohar, there was only Zubeida in which he played a rich man. This was Shyam Benegal’s belief. He felt that real Maharajas were not Greek Gods. They looked normal. I played the role of a Pakistani politician in Veer-Zaara. I had two scenes in it, but Yashji (Chopra) insisted that I do this film. He cast me after watching Pinjar.’

Filmmakers do not show their richness

Manoj Bajpayee said, others have a problem in portraying me as rich. I always got middle class and lower middle class roles. I was never considered for high society roles.
