Bhansali, known for works like 'Bajirao Mastani' and 'Gangubhai Kathiawadi', had offered Bajpayee a significant role in the period drama film.
The reason why Bajpayee rejected the role was that he did not want to play a supporting character in the film when he was accustomed to playing lead characters.
Bajpayee revealed in an interview with ETimes, "I've always wanted to play 'Devdas.' There have been a few adaptations, but no one thought of casting me. I would love to play that character. "
Bajpayee has been featured in well-known works like 'Aligarh' and 'Bhonsle' and received various accolades for his performances.
We wish Manoj Bajpayee a very happy birthday and many more successes in his career!
