Manoj
Bajpayee,
who
is
enjoying
the
success
of
The
Family
Man
season
2,
recently
released
that
he
was
set
to
make
Hollywood
debut
in
the
early
2000s.
While
the
film
did
not
work
out,
the
said
shared
that
the
film
would
have
starred
him
alongside
acclaimed
American
stars
Lynn
Collins,
Frank
Langella
and
Justin
Theroux,
among
many
others.
The
Dial
100
actor
revealed
that
the
film
was
set
to
be
directed
by
an
NRI.
Recalling
the
incident
he
said
he
was
set
to
work
on
the
film
after
Pinjar,
"I
was
about
to
get
my
second
National
Award
for
Pinjar
and
after
that,
I
was
supposed
to
go
to
Jaisalmer.
After
my
National
Award
function,
the
next
day,
I
travelled
to
Jaisalmer.
There
I
was
going
to
do
a
proper
Hollywood
film
which
was
being
directed
by
an
NRI.
I
was
playing
the
lead,
Lynn
Collins
was
my
female
counterpart
and
Justin
Theroux
was
playing
one
role,
Frank
Langella
was
playing
a
role
in
that
film
and
there
were
(a
few
other)
actors
in
that
film."
"Everyone
was
thinking
my
life's
going
to
be
so
huge
after
that
film
because
I
was
playing
the
lead
with
Justin
Theroux,
Lynn
Collins,
Frank
Langella," he
was
quoted
saying
by
Hindustan
Times.
Bajpayee
also
shared
that
he
already
knew
the
project
would
not
work
out
as
an
astrologer
had
told
him
the
same.
While
in
Jaiselmer,
he
met
Shrivallabh
Vyas'
father
who
is
known
as
a
great
astrologer.
"I
requested
his
father
to
please
tell
me
what
would
happen
to
this
film.
He
said,
'Nothing
would
happen.'
So
I
said,
'Uncle,
please
see
again,
there
must
be
something.'
He
repeated,
'No,
I
can't
see
anything.'"
"Then
I
came
out,
one
part
of
your
heart
is
saying
it's
true
and
one
part
of
your
heart
is
saying
it's
not
true.
We
all
wrapped
up
and
came
back
and
nothing
happened," Manoj
added.
However,
Manoj
has
now
revealed
that
after
two
decades
he
has
been
getting
offers
from
Hollywood.
He
had
said,
"It's
not
in
your
hands.
I
keep
getting
offers,
I
won't
deny
that.
It
has
to
be
respectable.
I
am
not
dying
to
go
there
and
start
from
scratch
just
because
it's
Hollywood."
Manoj,
last
seen
in
Netflix's

Hai
Kyon
Barpa

Ray
