Manoj Bajpayee On Kartik Aryan: "He Is Completely Mainstream"

Manoj Bajpayee recently spoke about the new generation of actors in the Hindi film cinema today.

He does a comedy film, a romantic film, a Freddy film and then he is working as Chandu Champion. Find a different story in the mainstream in your own style, bring challenges with it and never be easy with it, only then you can move ahead."
