Bollywood Actor Manoj Bajpayee is confident that nobody can play Om Puri better than him.
I think nobody can play Om-ji better than me because I knew him very closely. I came for his prayer meet but still I am smiling because if you remember him, you can’t be upset. He was such a joyful character. I remember him with loads of happiness,” Manoj said at a meet held to pay tribute to Om who died on January 6.
Manoj Bajpayee who is known for his unconventional roles in films, said,
“Om Puri ji was one of the reasons for doing the kind of acting I am known for. He helped us to conceive the dream… Those who come from small towns. He showed us that path and achieved the top (success) which we dreamt of.” “His behaviour was same and even with everybody, whether the person was a spot boy or a millionaire,” Manoj recalled.
