Manoj Bajpayee is one of the most celebrated and versatile actors in Bollywood. Currently, he is gearing up for the release of his 100th film titled Bhaiyya Ji. He recently sat down for an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, where he discussed various aspects of the industry, including its discourse. 

Manoj Bajpayee on Animal discourse

In an exclusive chat, Manoj Bajpayee was asked about discourse regarding Ranbir Kapoor’s movie Animal and right and wrong in cinema, to which he responded, "I am very clear. If many people disagree or don’t like a film, what’s wrong with that? The film is released, does its business, and moves on. The money goes into the producer's pocket; let them take it; they invested in the movie."

He further added, "If you don't want to watch it, then don't. If you disagree with something, it's better not to watch it, but don't create trouble for the movie. You will be only encouraging a bad notion by doing so, what if others hinder your work in the same way? There should be open discourse without calls for bans or protests."

Manoj Bajpayee humorously added that if you dislike a film, don't watch it and make it a flop.
