MUMBAI : Most talented Hindi film industry actor Manoj Bajpayee is all set for the release of his upcoming film Bhaiyya Ji, recalled being called a porn star by film critics. He disclosed about his early days in the film industry and said that post Satya, he received a lot of biased reviews for his movies. In one of his latest interviews, Manoj said he also faced racism in the industry back then.
Manoj recently received praise for his performance in the film Zubeida, 2001 where people criticised him and said he doesn't look like a prince.
In a recent interview, ‘Some critics wrote ‘He’s good but he doesn't fit the role, he's good but he doesn't look like a prince.' I thought these people are so liberal and evolved that they do not realise they are such big racists. They were too raci
He further mentioned, ‘I have many newspaper cuttings (reviews) where people have been very brutal, lethal and racist.’ However, Manoj said he doesn't react to any troll.
The actor also recalled being called a 'porn' star after the release of Fareb in 2005. The film also starred Shilpa Shetty and Shamita Shetty. He further added ‘the film wasn't well made and it failed, it happens sometimes. Somebody wrote, ‘Now Bhikhu Matre of Satya has become a porn star.’ That hurt me, it really offended me. No reviewer has the right to go that dirty. You can talk about my film, how it is made. How does that make me a porn star? There is nothing I did in that film to suggest that.’
On the professional side, Manoj is all set for the release of Bhaiyya Ji, which is his 100th film. Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, it also stars Zoya Hussain, Suvinder Vicky, Vipin Sharma and others.
