Writing, a lonely job: Manoj Bajpayee

Mumbai: Actor Manoj Bajpayee loves reading books, but when it comes to writing, he says he maintains a distance.

"I can`t write because it`s a very lonely job and I can`t sit alone for long. Although, I wrote two plays, but I got so tortured writing those plays that I decided not to write again," the actor said here at the launch of a book written by journalist Abhisar Sharma. Actress Gul Panag was also present at the event. Manoj, who was appreciated for his work as a Naxalite in Prakash Jha`s ‘Chakravyuh’ recently, will next be seen in Sanjay Gupta`s ‘Shootout at Wadala’. IANS
