Bollywood celebrities like Farah Khan, Hansal Mehta and Anurag Kashyap have wished happiness to Manoj Bajpayee on his 47th birthday. They also lauded the actor, who will be honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in the Best Actor category (Critics’ Choice) for his performance in Hansal Mehta’s biographical drama, “Aligarh”.
Manoj made his film debut with the one-minute role in “Drohkaal” in 1994, and a minor role of a dacoit in Shekhar Kapur’s “Bandit Queen”. He played gangster Bhiku Mhatre in Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 crime drama “Satya”, which proved to be a breakthrough. He then acted in films like “Kaun” and “Shool”.
Manoj has been a part of critically acclaimed films like “Zubeidaa”, “Raajneeti”, “Gangs of Wasseypur”, “Chakravyuh” and “Special 26”.
