Manoj Bajpayee is currently soaring high after receiving an overwhelming response for ‘The Family Man 2’.
Recently, rumors went rife- he has reportedly walked out of Hrithik Roshan’s debut series.
As reported by Bollywood Hungama, Manoj Bajpayee supposedly backed out of ‘The Night Manager’ adaptation, wherein he was apparently playing the role of Richard Roper- an arms dealer who disguises himself to be a business tycoon, due to date issues.
However, the current reports state otherwise. We hear that Manoj wasn’t even offered the project. During an interview with Koimoi, the Bhonsle actor dismissed reports of him doing ‘The Night Manager’ adaptation, let alone ‘walking out’ of it.
“I was never in to be out. So, what can I say. I saw this news coming up, and I said okay ignore it. I have ignored many such news articles in the past and moved on. Let me tell you, the thing is, now with the social media, there are all sorts of news that are coming out. Sometimes these news pieces are out only on hearsay,” Bajpayee was quoted saying.
He further added, “So, by god’s grace there have been offers since many years. There are number of offers every week. Not that I have agreed to be a part of them, but did I ever speak about it? No. You only speak about the projects that you are part of. So I will only talk about those projects. Not the ones I am not a part of or ones on which somewhere we did not agree creatively. It is just that. Why to talk about something that I am not in? I was never a part of The Night Manager.”
Earlier, a media report suggested that Hrithik Roshan had allegedly dropped out of the Hindi adaptation of the British mini-series ‘The Night Manager’. The actor was supposed to make his digital debut on Disney+ Hotstar with this project.
