Manoj Bajpayee Doesn’t Eat Seafood

Satya Changed A Lot Of Things For Him

Manoj Bajpayee’s career was defined by the movie Satya. His name became synonymous with the villainous nature of the character as a result of his outstanding performance in the film, which received widespread acclaim. Following the success of the film, he received numerous offers to play villains opposite famous actors. That was not the only thing that occurred after Satya, though.

He obviously did not normally speak with gaalis in every sentence. As a result, he generally held off on abusing for a long time. He added that after Satya, he started abusing habitually. Working in Gangs of Wasseypur surely must have helped him get comfortable with it!
