Mumbai, (PTI) Actor Manoj Bajpayee says he tapped into his experience of coming from a small village to essay the role of a displaced man on the run in “Joram”.
The hard-hitting survival drama is directed by Devashish Makhija of “Ajji” (2017) and “Bhonsle” (2018) fame. It was screened last night at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival, where the film received a standing ovation.
“I come from a village so my journey has been very long. I’ve interacted with lakhs of people, such has been the journey that I don’t need to go to ‘jhopadpatti’ (slum) to play a ‘jhopadpatti’ guy.
