Manoj Bajpayee's 'The Fable' set to make waves at Berlin Film Festival

Renowned Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee is gearing up for another career milestone as his upcoming film, "The Fable," directed by Raam Reddy, is set to premiere at the 74th edition of the Berlin International Film Festival. This marks a significant achievement for Bajpayee, as the film is only the second Indian entry in the main competitive sections of the Berlinale festival in the past 30 years.

"The Fable" will have its World Premiere in the Encounters Competition of the Berlin Film Festival, and its evening premiere on the opening day is generating anticipation, typically reserved for highly anticipated titles. Bajpayee, known for his versatile roles in films like "Satya," "Gangs of Wasseypur," and "Raajneeti," as well as the web series "The Family Man," is set to captivate audiences with this latest cinematic endeavor.

In a recent interview Bajpayee addressed the curiosity surrounding his recent physical transformation, particularly a shirtless picture he shared on New Year's. The actor revealed that the image was morphed and part of a strategic marketing campaign for "Killer Soup." He explained, "So, they wanted to start a campaign on a high with the intrigue, and they managed to be successful doing it."

Beyond "The Fable," Manoj Bajpayee is also celebrating another achievement. His film "Joram" has been added to the Oscar library, marking a significant recognition for the actor. Expressing his excitement, Bajpayee stated, "It’s a great piece of news that has come to us, and I really feel that we’ve come a full circle with this."

Emphasizing that he doesn't work for validation but out of passion, Bajpayee shared, "At the end of the day, you’re the best and the biggest critic of yourself. It’s only me who knows how much I could achieve and how much I just left out, how much I missed and how much I lacked in a few places, and that’s a continuous process."

As anticipation builds for the premiere of "The Fable" and Bajpayee's continued success, the actor remains a prominent figure in the Indian film industry, celebrated for his talent and commitment to his craft.
