Film folk step out for a movie.
His latest film Satyagraha has received mixed reviews and box office fate but Bajpayee's performance has found favour among everyone.
Here's taking a look at pictures from the screening.
A film with a one-line plot, needed a lot more pizzazz, whistle-worthy dialogue, and a large-than-life, invincible protagonist. Karki makes a Rajinikanth kind of actioner (Bhaiyya Ji fights with a bidi in his mouth) but with a realistic soul, and falls between two boats.
A look at the big winners of the night!
'Apart from Satya -- which was a very good film -- Manoj Bajpayee has not featured in any hit in the 10-12 years of his career. Who is he to talk about my career? He should worry about his own.' CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani lashes out.
'We haven't touched child prodigies. This will be the first film to do so. What if there is a special talent like him, do we have the infrastructure to deal with it? That is the larger question the film is trying to ask.' Budhia Singh: Born To Run director Soumendra Padhi discusses his new film.
'One of the three directors from The Family Man -- Suparn Verma -- is my real life Chellam Sir.' 'He is somebody who has the answers to everything, so I call him anytime.'
Manoj Bajpayee claims the industry has not yet explored his potential.
'Mumbai is very different from the rest of India. It can be ruthless if you don't have work or friends. The struggle time and times of disappointment are horrific and can break you.'
'There's this one scene in Gulmohar that belongs to Manojji and everyone was excited for him.' 'The evening before we were to shoot it, everyone, from Sharmilaji to the junior most actor, wished him luck.'
'He was suddenly nervous.'
'The next day, 14 actors, from Sharmilaji and Amol Palekar to Suraj Sharma, all watched him perform.' 'It was like being back in film school.'
From Shahid to Prahaar: The Untold Story of Ujjwal Nikam, these films bring real-life lawyers, landmark courtroom battles and extraordinary fights for justice to the screen.
'Manoj Bajpayee is my enabler. Till Taandav nobody knew me, and for 10 years I was trying to make films. Manoj enters my life and suddenly, one after the other, I start getting opportunities.'
A look at the special screening pictures.
'To be complimented for a fantastic performance after just viewing the trailer! This never happened to me before.' 'If you have given a party a mandate for five years, stop blaming it for everything under the sun.' 'My kind of films do not make stars. Now we, the actors, after years of struggle, have created a parallel industry where we have made a name for ourselves. But stars we are not nor can we be.' 'For a boy coming from a remote village of Bihar at the Indo-Nepal border where no transport was available to commute to the nearest town, even coming to Delhi and then Mumbai and finally watching himself on the silver screen was a huge thing!'
Manoj Bajpayee is perhaps in the most exciting phase of his acting career. With Gangs Of Wasseypur set to hit the marquee this Wednesday, the actor talks about his upcomign projects.
'Even if you give me a good role, I will try to make it look bad because nobody is perfect.' Manoj Bajpayee gets ready to play yet another negative character in Tevar.
