Mumbai, Aug 6 : Manoj Bajpai, the 42-year-old popular Bollywood actor, who is featuring for the second time in a Prakash Jha movie is doing a negative role in'Aarkashan'.

Not every actor in the villain's role needs to act according to conscience. Bajpai does not agree with the principles of his character, simply because he is does not propagate the commercialisation of education in real life. But in 'Aarkashan', as Mithilesh Singh, Bajpai does the opposite. He does not like the character of the arrogant and greedy Mithilesh Singh, even though the role suits him well on screen.

Manoj Bajpa is not just against the commericialtion of education, he is also against doing anything to earn money! "Yes," he says, "I do not act in the movies just to earn money"

Speaking about his role, he says, "Being a professional artiste, I had to take up this role. It was difficult for me to cope with it, but I hope I have done justice to it."

Bajpai is full of praise for director Prakash Jha and Amitabh. "I admire their commitment and professionalism, both of them are great individuals."

"Lots of things to learn from them. I enjoyed working in the sets of Aarakashan."

He is confident that the movie will bring a change in the society, and that people will like it. But he is diappointed that the movie has been banned in UP even before its release, despite the green signal from the censor board.
