National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee says as a performer, he does not follow any formula to play any character but approaches things differently every time. The actor, who is balancing between content-driven and commercial cinema, told IANS here, “I have no formula to play any character. I approach each of them differently. I could play a middle-class man, a police officer 50 times, but every time it has to be different.”Otherwise, what is the fun of performing? Also, the approach needs to be changed depending on the kind of film it is.”He calls his forthcoming film Satyameva Jayate a commercial one.
“So my performance should be very different here (in this film) from a film like Aligarh.Giving an insight into his character DCP Shivansh, the actor of Satya fame said: “It is an action-thriller where a cat-mouse fight is happening between the two characters – a police and a criminal.”
“What’s interesting is how both of them are interrelated, how their conflict finds a common ground at the end of the journey.”
