Manoj Bajpayee Almost Didn’t Get Entry Inside Theatre To Watch Satya
Funnily enough, Manoj almost didn’t get to watch his film, Satya. There used to be a single-screen theatre named, Shyam. The guard outside this theatre wasn’t letting him in, even when Manoj said he worked in the film. Manoj directly got told off by them as they thought he was a common man.

Then, he had to convince them that he actually did work on it. He said that he played Bhiku Mhatre. Upon saying that, the guard was shocked and asked him to confirm again in awe. Then it became a funny moment for both of them, and the guard let him in. Now, Manoj got excited to see his film on the big screen.
He Talks About The Culture Of Delhi
He says that Delhi is a weird mixture of three faces. There are huge business minds, heavy politics that come from Lutyens’ side, and government jobs. All of them are mingling and surviving. He clarifies that these three faces are open to people who come to Delhi for job perspectives.
People have voyaged and settled in Delhi from a lot of nearby small cities. So a lot of culture and tradition has been drilled into Delhiites. Further, he says, “It is a weird mix. Delhi doesn’t have a particular culture.” He compensates by saying that Delhi food is awesome. “It is as good as anything best!”
