"The role of Bahubali Gajender Singh is something that people have never seen earlier. He is a man from Mathura and he is a lover boy. But the dangerous part is that he falls in love with a girl who does not love him. And he is a hard core criminal and mafia of that area," the 45-year-old actor told PTI on the sidelines of IFFI.
The 'Gangs of Wasseypur' star said 'Tevar' is a big budget film and its trailer has created huge curiosity in viewers.
Bajpayee said there was no pressure on him of any sort while acting for the movie.
"I keep doing mainstream films whenever I am offered great roles. Mainstream gives me money and it adds a lot of value to Manoj Bajpayee which I use it for my independent films," he commented.
"If I do one commercial film, I do 5-6 independent films. I do mainstream films to get strength as an actor," Bajpayee added.
Talking about Neeraj Pandey's 'Saat Uchakkey', the actor said it is one of his most favourite films.
