Manoj Bajpayee on working with younger actors: How to compete with the

Manoj Bajpayee is all set to play an army
officer in Neeraj Pandey's Aiyaary. In an
interview with a leading daily, Manoj was
asked about the Neeraj Pandey kind of film.
Manoj said, "If you say Special 26 and A
Wednesday is his kind, then what is Ouch?
Somewhere Neeraj has the ability to
surprise you with the craft of storytelling
which is very new. I don't see it at all
happening (elsewhere)."

Aiyaary, which also stars Sidharth Malhotra,
Rakul Preet Singh, Adil Hussain, Naseeruddin
Shah, Anupam Kher and Kumud Mishra, is
the story about two army officers a
mentor and a protege, who have a fallout
when one of them decides to turn rogue.
Talking more about the director, he said, "He
doesn't succumb to all those stereotypical
mainstream formula but still manages to
intrigue you with a story which is so unique.
Every time we work, not even one line (in
the script) is wasted. So that doesn't give
you the liberty to go ahead and add your
own few things because when he is writing
each and every word, even the formation of
dialogue is such that you can't really change
it. You know, I have tried many times to
change the formation, but it didn't work."
He was also asked about working with
younger actors. On this, he said, "How to
compete with them by staying young! That's
a tough task (laughs)." On a serious note, he
explained, "This generation is supposed to
do various things that we were not. We
really had to work hard to find one
information. And here they are who have
grown up watching world cinema, their
knowledge is immense. I really feel they are
far ahead when it comes to information and
knowledge. Sitting with them, observing
them, once you just surrender to them, you
learn so much, you suddenly realise that you
have to know so much. Though there is no
comparison but what we can do is, we can
up our game when it comes to learning few
things from them."
