Manoj Bajpayee Turns Producer For Missing, To Turn  Director Soon

For the  first time in his career Manoj Bajpai has turned  producer for the film  Missing.

And boy,  is  he proud of his achievement.

“It isn’t easy, believe me, to be facing the camera and  to be standing there looking into  the minutest detail  of the production,” says  Manoj.

 “But I did it. And I was there on  the sets in my capacity as the films’s actor and producer. My co-producers  of the project Vikram Malhotra, Shital Bhatia and Neeraj Pandey were  not on the set even once. It was only me. I am proud to say I am a very hands-on  producer,” says Manoj, adding that he didn’t want his participation as a  producer to be made  public until now.

“The  important thing is to ensure such  films get a proper release. My co-producers are capable and  equipped  to handle the situation.Now I’ve nothing to worry about,” says Manoj.

Manoj says it was Neeraj Pandey who pushed him to turn producer. “He kept saying I must do it. I wasn’t keen. But I am glad I listened  to him. Now he’s persuading me  to turn director.And It may happen sooner rather than later.”
