Manoj Bajpayee's 'Joram' director Devashish Makhija says, 'I'm bankrupt, begging my landlord to not evict me,' actor reacts

Devashish Makhija, the director of the Manoj Bajpayee-starred Joram recently said in an interview with Pranav Chokhani that he’s bankrupt as his film didn’t make any of its money back and he’s requesting his landlord not to evict him. However, the interview seems to have been blown out of proportion.

The filmmaker issued a clarification that was shared by Bajpayee on X:

This is for all the people ( media handles) who are very keen to fall for the click bait headlines! कब सुधारेंगे ये ? https://t.co/FtxwAKWYp8

In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the actor spoke about the film and the filmmaker in question and said, “Devashish gets very young and excited people as cameramen who are not interested in just lighting it up and staying away from the characters. They try to go with the rhythm of the performance and are very close to you without you being aware of it. I got to experience some very crazy and fluid camerawork on this film, or whenever I worked with him. One of his cameramen Piyush was dieting so that he could run with the camera and keep pace with his film.”

He added, “I’m really happy to be working with directors I’ve had long association with and some very fine new directors whose vision I’ve been part of. Also, I’m getting to choose which was not there earlier. I was just sitting at home and waiting for things to happen.”
