Silence 2 actor Manoj Bajpayee: Nobody is a superstar on OTT; I'm happy to be relevant and working

Actor Manoj Bajpayee is perhaps one of the few mainstream actors who has maintained a fine balance between his OTT projects and theatrical releases. Manoj Bajpayee was last seen in Silence 2 Overwhelmed with the kind of variety to pick and choose from, the actor says, “This is the USP of OTT platforms where you can experiment a lot with so many genres. That’s the freedom this medium gives you.” Talking about murder mysteries and thrillers in particular that have become a hot pick on the web, Bajpayee, who stars in the recently released Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout, states, “I personally think that investigative thrillers and murder mysteries works in every medium because it has its inherent drama that keeps you engaged throughout. I am still working and I am still relevant, and I thank God for that.” The 55-year-old, who got immense critical acclaim for Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai — the only film to release on OTT and then head to theatres — says that the best part about the medium is no pressure of box office numbers, and that, in a way, has democratised the whole industry.
