Now Manoj Bajpai who came to Lit-O-Fest in Mumbai said he will not read a script if it is not given to him in Hindi. He said, “I am so passionate about the Hindi language. Satya made me a commercially successful actor.

After that, I slowly started getting work in this industry. There came a day, where I was in a position to make demands. So I decided not to read any script if it is not provided to me in Hindi. I am so stubborn on this issue.

People are so lazy to find a Hindi typist. So I stick to my point. If the need me to read, it has to be in Hindi. Once a producer or director gave an excuse of other actors, I told him that it is not my lookout if they do not know Hindi well. The Hindi language is my strength. I want my script in Hindi only.”
