Manoj Bajpayee is known for his excellent acting, but he is also known for his anger and fights in the industry. Talking about the same, the actor revealed, “I didn’t talk to Anurag Kashyap for 11 years, but the reason was different. He got angry once. He was the one who ran and I followed him to beat him up.” Reminded by Rajat Sharma that “you once also ran after Tigmanshu Dhulia with a brick”, Manoj replied, “Ab chhodiye… Jawaani ki kuch galtiyan, uske baare me kya baat karen (Forget it, please, why speak of my mistakes? When I was young)”
Rajat Sharma also reminded Manoj Bajpayee of an incident when he called US director Hansal Mehta and insulted him, after which the duo did not speak for six years. The actor said, “Ji Sahi Hai. Sweekar Hai. Maafi Maangta Hoon. (Yes, I admit it. I apologize).”
Speaking of Anubhav Sinha, Rajat Sharma asked, “Did you abuse him when you were offered only Rs 2,000 per episode?” To this, Manoj Bajpayee said, “Let me describe it. Anubhav Sinha was doing a serial. I was going to work as the goofy right-hand man of a mafia gang leader. It was the role of a goofball. The producer promised to pay Rs 4000 for episode. I did four episodes and the amount reached 16,000 rupees. That was in 1993 when I barely had money to live on. I went to the producer and he told me that he was cheated. This was the role of a fool and he had no dialogues to deliver Why should one pay 4000 rupees per episode I told him, one has to try very hard to play the role of a fool He said I will pay you only 1500 rupees because you had no dialogue I told him to keep this money please consider this as my donation. I threw his check in his office and went out. I called Anubhav Sinha. He said, he is the producer, what can I do? I got angry. , and told him, you are my good friend but you did not take a position for my”.
