Recalling those old days and how Ahmed Khan insisted him on doing Baaghi 2, Manoj Bajpayee revealed, “Ahmed Khan is the one who choreographed ‘Sapne mein milti hai’. We were too young; he was a little kid then. He said only one thing, ‘Manoj, just help me in making this film because I need this film to be a success.’ Coming from a friend, that one sentence was enough. And he gave me a blockbuster.”

And well, the film turned out to be a massive hit with a Rs 200 crore collection. Manoj shared, “I don’t think any film of mine has become a Rs 200 crore plus blockbuster.”

Manoj Bajpayee’s heart always remains the non-masala movies but talking about the commercial films, the actor said, “It’s just a happy break for me. Even in the future, I will do it just to get away from this very immersive, intense process of acting.”
