Aks was a Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra directorial and starred Amitabh Bachchan, Raveena Tandon, and Manoj Bajpayee in key roles. This supernatural action thriller film was a box office dud and didn’t even receive good reviews. However, Aks went on to win several accolades at multiple award shows and all the cast received quite a praise for their performances.
Back in 2007, Manoj revealed that box office numbers don’t bother him and considered critics as his best friend. He told Hindustan Times, “I’ve never feared failure as whatever happens I’ll be back on my feet. One thing I know for sure is that not all successful films have substance and not all good films make it to the hit list, so why bother? If there isn’t work that suits my sensibilities my suitcase is always packed!”
Manoj Bajpayee made his debut by playing a dacoit in Bandit Queen (1994) and over the years, has done some of the most critically acclaimed movies. The actor recently completed the milestone of his 100th film with Bhaiyya Ji which was released on May 24, 2024.
