Manoj Bajpayee says he's 'used to' mainstream awards snubbing his acclaimed films, in apparent dig at Filmfare
Manoj Bajpayee pointed out that his films, which have garnered widespread national and international critical acclaim continue to be ignored by mainstream Indian award juries.
Filmfare recently announced the complete list of nominees for its 64th edition of awards this year. While Bollywood's best offerings in 2018 like Badhaai Ho, Raazi, Stree, Andhadhun etc found their way in various categories, Manoj Bajpayee's Gali Guleiyan was snubbed in most of them. The film has a single nomination in the Best Sound Design category.
