Interestingly during 2002, Manoj Bajpayee who was enjoying his space with appreciations in movies like ‘Satya’, ‘Shool’, ‘Kaun’, ‘Aks’ etc got an offer which he refused and eventually the role went to Ajay Devgn who nailed it with such a perfection that it became one of his career’s most shinning highlight.

Do you know the name of the movie?!

Take a deep breath, the name of the movie is the cult gangster ‘Company’ by none other than Ram Gopal Varma – remember Ghanda Hai Par Dhanda Hai Yeh

Yes, Manoj Bajpayee rejected an offer from Ram Gopal Varma aka RGV, it’s hard to believe but it’s a fact, Manoj Bajpayee rejected Company due to date issues.

RGV wanted the character of Malik – the mafia boss who mentors Chandu (Vivek Oberoi) to be cool, calm and composed with an undercurrent of intensity running throughout.
