Manoj Biddvai is the man to watch out for. Currently seen on UTV's Bombay Talking on Zee Caf in a sub, he started his career with modelling and eventually got into acting. First seen on the telly in Balaji's Kahin Kissi Roz, he did a series of soaps.
We called this 6' 2" hunk, as he was busy shooting for Bombay Talking. He took time off to talk about his film star looks and a striking resemblance to James aka Mohit Ahlawat.
Your reaction to Mohit Ahlawat is striking. Comment. To be very honest, I think you should ask Mohit what he feels about looking like me (chuckles and continues). Well, I haven't even watched James. Though it's a Ram Gopal Varma flick, it just slipped my mind because of my tight schedules. All I know is that Mohit has a great body. I don't want to be immodest, yet I am really trying not to bother about the resembelance (he chuckles again). I took it positively, yet I have my apprehensions.
Bollywood calling? I made my debut in Dreams directed by Aashish Chanana. I played a film star and Aashish felt that I fit the role best. It was a great experience. It was a film within a film. I have been offered other films; I don't want to reveal anything. Nothing has been finalised yet and I don't want to spill the beans so fast.
How did you start your career? I always wanted to act, though I started my career with modelling. I was actually into my dad's business. But, I had this urge to earn my own buck and that's when I ventured into the world of modelling. I have acted in several serials. I was seen first in Kahin Kissi Roz, and then it was Kuttumb, Aruna Irani's Tum Bin Jaaoon Kahan, then Rihaaee and others.
How did Bombay Talking happen? I auditioned for Sayed Akhtar, executive producer - UTV, and he was looking for someone who could speak well and present himself well, and had a good command over English. I passed, so I'm here, and I'm enjoying it. It's very exciting.
What else is happening, other than Bombay Talking? I have appeared in a special episode of CID Special Squad, where I play a reporter. It was a good experience. I always wanted to work with Fireworks Production, and coincidentally, it happened.
Seeing someone? Wellโฆ yes, I am seeing someone. I am seeing my work now. That's my only focus.
