‘I cannot memorise a Hindi line if it is not written in Devanagari’: Manoj Bajpayee explains his script-reading preference mentions Pankaj Tripathi and Amitabh Bachchan as actors who follow the same practice

Manoj Bajpayee has explained why he prefers reading Hindi dialogues in the Devanagari script, saying he cannot memorise lines written otherwise. In a conversation with Variety India, filmmaker Neeraj Pandey challenged the idea that few actors follow this practice and discussed finding black humour in real life. The duo also spoke about ‘Gajab Raat’, Bajpayee’s quirky character Nivrit, and how the actor’s witty one-liners entertain the crew during late-night shoots.
