Impressed with director’s belief in my ‘Tevar’ role: Manoj Bajpayee
Manoj Bajpayee says he was impressed with Tevar's director Amit Sharma's belief in the character.
In Tevar, Manoj Bajpayee portrayed Gajendra Singh, an obsessed politician and lover.
Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who has scored a nomination at a forthcoming awards event for “Tevar”, says he was impressed with the movie’s director Amit Sharma’s belief in the character.
In the movie, Manoj portrayed Gajendra Singh, an obsessed politician and lover. For this, he has been nominated in the Best Actor in a Negative Role category at the second edition of the Times of India Film Awards (TOIFA), which is to be held in Dubai.
“I was impressed with director Amit Sharma’s belief in my character – Gajendra Singh. There were two to three facets of his personality which were endearing. I am extremely happy that it has earned me a TOIFA nomination,” Manoj said in a statement.
Others who have been nominated in the same category are Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Darshan Kumar and Ronit Roy. The winning actor will be feted with a black elephant-shaped trophy with a film reel atop its trunk.
