Manoj appeared in many films in small roles till he got a break in Satya. He rose to fame with his portrayal of the character Bhiku Mhatre in the Ram Gopal Varma directed 1997 film Satya. The character is considered one of the finest etched out in Indian cinema to date and Manoj won numerous awards for his portrayal of the hotheaded yet compassionate small-time gangster.
Despite being one of the most talented and critically acclaimed actors in India, Manoj Bajpai has not been able to enjoy much commercial success. THIS IS ALL WRONG
