Key Points

Recently, indianexpress.com caught up with Manoj Bajpayee to talk about his film Bandaa..

The shy actor said it would be unfair for him to pick just three and thus asked the director Apoorv Singh Karki to name his favourite films, and he would share stories behind them...

Anurag finished the reading and said that he will make it into two parts, but he hasnt started writing the sequel yet..

He asked me again if I will do the film, and I shot back, Pagal aadmi (Crazy man), why the hell am I asking for wine?.

Also, there was news that Akshay Khanna was doing this show, and since I do not like taking other actors work, I said if thats true, even if I like the project, I will not do it..
