Actor Manoj Bajpayee has shared what motivated him to come on board the documentary `The Vial`, which is all about the development of the Covid vaccine.
The celebrated actor also talked about the kind of cinema he preferred to be a part of and how excited he is about his upcoming movie `Banda`.
Bajpayee told IANS: “There were three reasons that inspired me to become a part of `The Vial`. First, it was the unwavering conviction of the producers, director, and channel that impressed me. Second, the documentary aimed to shed light on the pandemic that we all have experienced, and I wanted to pay homage to the health workers, frontline workers, and scientists who worked tirelessly to develop vaccines across all regions.
“And third, I was keen to work in this field as a way of showing my support and appreciation for these individuals.”
Discussing the most difficult aspect of creating this documentary, Bajpayee said: “As for me, the most challenging part was memorizing all the information and lines that were required of me as an actor and narrator. Having already worked on two documentaries, `Secrets of Sinauli` and `Kohinoor`, I was familiar with the narration aspect, but memorizing all the necessary information was a significant challenge.”
When asked if he prefers commercial cinema or independent cinema, Bajpayee elaborated: “I don`t prefer one over the other. For me, what matters most is the story. I find it challenging to work in formulaic films where I already know the beginning, middle, and end. I believe the story must be unique, and the character should be something that audiences have not seen before.”
He concluded by sharing his excitement about his upcoming movie `Banda` and said: “The film is directed by Apoorv Singh Karki. Its story is unique and inspired by true incidents. It revolves around a lawyer`s journey as he fights a difficult case. It`s a character that I`ve never played before, and I`m looking forward to the challenge.”
`The Vial` is airing on History TV18.
