I STILL GET NERVOUS BEFORE SHOOTING: MANOJ BAJPAYEE

MUMBAI: Despite doing several films in a career spanning over 25 years, actor Manoj Bajpayee said that he feels nervous before the shoot of any new project.

In an interview with ANI, the versatile artist opened up about his acting process and how he overcomes his anxiety ahead of the commencement of a shoot. “Script plays an important role in every film. I follow my script very seriously. I keep reading it. I keep making notes just to remind myself about all the scenes. I am fascinated with scripts that I agree to work on. I keep going through it till I know it backwards and know each and every scene. I always get nervous before the shoot…so to get rid of that nervousness I keep reading my script,” he said.

Manoj also shared that he enjoys the process of getting into the skin of a character more than the actual shoot. “I love the whole process of getting into the shoes of my character. My process is extremely extensive. I annoy my directors by asking I don’t know how many questions. I love asking questions. I love getting into the depth of my script. So, with each film, I try to follow this process only,” he added. ANI
