‘Female actors need to be respected’
Actor Manoj Bajpayee feels it is time for female actors to get respect for their talent, and says even the male counterparts are also looking for a situation where everybody gets what they deserve.
“It’s a time for female actors to get and be respected for what they are and what they can deliver,” Manoj said.
“This is something that only they were looking for but we as male counterparts were also looking for a situation like this where everybody is getting what they deserve,” he added.
‘The work that BAFTA plans to do in India with Breakthrough stretches far beyond Bollywood. BAFTA and I share the passion for discovering and nurturing new talent and this association with them is a natural fit because of our shared vision. This initiative will look for talent across the Indian film, game and television industries.’
