Manoj Bajpai – Upset With Ram Gopal Varma
Manoj Bajpai got recognition in filmdom with Ram Gopal Varma’s “Satya”, but says he will never go back to his mentor.
“You will never see me doing a film with him (Varma) again. The wound that he has given can never be healed,” Manoj said.
Varma gave Manoj a role in “Satya” after watching him in Shekhar Kapur’s “Bandit Queen”. But the two never got along well. Manoj alleged that Varma always humiliated him during the making of “Satya”.
The final break came when Varma was casting for “Ramu Ki Aag” and met Manoj for Samba’s role. But it didn’t work out and the director said Manoj and he could never see eye to eye. The day after the meeting with Manoj, Varma signed Sushant Singh for Samba’s role. Full News
