'Gangs of Wasseypur' my most negative role so far: Manoj Bajpayee

Jaipur: Describing his role as the most negative character on screen so far, actor Manoj Bajpayee says his upcoming movie 'Gangas of Wasseypur' will be full of the 'masala' today's audience is open to. The 43-year-old actor said he is happy that the film has got an 'A' certificate and suggests parents and youngsters should watch the film separately, not together.

"The character Sardar Khan played by me has all the negative elements. He is full of lust, involved in all bad activities, has no morals or sense of right and wrong," Bajpayee told PTI here today.

"He likes bad things, but ultimately he returns to his family and this is what the film is all about. Politics may be a part of this movie but focus of the film is on the importance of family," he said.
