Mumbai: Manoj Bajpai says his student days at Delhi University came in handy in moulding his character as a Naxalite in Prakash Jha's Chakravyuh.
Prakashji (Jha), Arjun (Rampal) and I have studied in Delhi University. It gets quite buzzing over there regarding Marxism - some professors there are Marxists, some students there have a Marxist inclination and a lot of our studies have also been about this. I used to do street theatres with them and also read a lot of literature because of them, the 43-year-old said on Wednesday at a fictional Maoist camp set up for the film promotion.
