Manoj Bajpayee voices concern over films failing to connect; says, “It's important that we spend time on writing a good script”

Actor Manoj Bajpayee recently shared his views on the current state of the film industry. He expressed his concern about films failing to connect with audiences as much as they used to. According to Bajpayee, this disconnect stemmed from a growing desire within the industry for a quick and easy formula for success. Bajpayee emphasized that, in his opinion, the key to creating meaningful and impactful cinema lies in giving sufficient time and attention to the development of the story and script. He believed that these fundamental elements serve as the foundation for a successful film. By investing ample time and effort into crafting a compelling narrative and a well-structured script, filmmakers can create a strong emotional connection with the audience.

During an interview with GOODTIMES, Manoj Bajpayee was questioned about the under-performance of films, including those released on OTT platforms. To this he replied, “We keep wondering, why aren't films working? But the reason is right within you. We keep trying to find a mantra for everything. We keep looking for the thing that will make us successful. It doesn't work like that. Just be true to the job. It's most important that we pay attention to the story. It's important that we spend time on writing a good script. [There were] 18 drafts of Bandaa. It takes time. For Gulmohar, it took them three years. I really find it surprising how [people keep churning stuff out].”

He further added, “When you start churning [things], definitely mediocrity will emerge. When you start to look for a formula to any success, then mediocrity will come. That means you are not being true to your creative self. You are trying to find that tablet, and you think you got that tablet. It never happens that way.”

In addition to his recent film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, Manoj Bajpayee has an exciting lineup of projects awaiting release. Among them are the films Soup, Dispatch, and Joram. Furthermore, Manoj Bajpayee revealed that the highly popular web series The Family Man will be returning for its eagerly awaited third season. Known for its gripping storyline and Bajpayee's compelling performance as the lead character, the show has garnered a massive fan base and critical acclaim.
