Manoj Bajpai is not your typical muscle flexing or shirt doffing Bollywood hunk. He has earned his acting credentials doing theatre and is the actor who is known for his acting sensibilities.

Manoj's ambitions and dreams to make his place under the arc lamps drove him from a sleepy town in Bihar to work his way up from TV roles to small character roles in films like Bandit Queen. And then Satya happened and Manoj became synonymous with just one name—Bhiku Mhatre.
 

Lest he should get typecast doing similar roles Manoj showed intelligence by shunning the roles that were of Bhiku Mhatre mould and went further to prove his mettle in films Kaun and Shool.

Being a stickler for variety Manoj has always dug the roles that offer him the scope to convey myriad emotions. He showed his deft hand at comedy in Hansal Mehta's dark comedy Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar and his subtle and resisted performance in Zubeidaa just adds another feather to his cap.
