Manoj Reveals how blind articles affected Sushant

The Family Man actor, while recalling his interaction with Sushant, told how the latter found it difficult to handle those in power. Manoj said, “Sushant was very vulnerable when it came to blind articles. He was a very good human being, and it is only a good person who can be affected by these things. He would often come to me and ask how to deal with these things. I used to tell him not to take these things seriously because I have gone through such situations before, and I am still bearing the brunt of such articles against me.”

His advice for Sushant

He further continued, “I told him to handle people whose films are working, who are in power. I would handle such people differently. I would tell my friends to convey to them that I would come and beat them up. What’s important is that the message is conveyed. Sushant used to laugh and would say, ‘Sir, aap he kar sakte ho, mein nahi kar sakta ye (Sir, only you can do it, I can’t). But he was troubled by blind articles. He was a very sensitive and intelligent person.”

Manoj is currently gearing up for his crime action thriller, Bhaiyya Ji. The trailer for the film showcases him in an action avatar. The actor, known for his unconventional roles, has attempted a commercial action flick this time.
