Manoj Bajpayee’s ‘The Fable’ wins best film at Leeds Film Festival, UK
'The Fable' follows a family living on an orchard estate whose peaceful life is disrupted by mysterious events. The film blends magical realism with heartfelt storytelling.
National Award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee on Wednesday said he is used to the fact that all his films which are highly acclaimed nationally and internationally never get a place in the nomination list of “so-called big mainstream awards”.
Manoj on Wednesday tweeted a poster of his 2018 movie Gali Guleiyan and wrote: “So used to the fact that all the films of mine which are highly acclaimed nationally and internationally don’t even get a place in the nominations list of so called big mainstream awards here, forget about winning. Creative pursuit and exploitation continue! Gali Guleiyan.”
The 49-year-old actor’s tweet comes after the nomination list for the 64th Vimal Filmfare Awards 2019 were announced on Tuesday.
