Actor Manoj Bajpayee is known for his powerful performances and unique choice of films. His latest release, Jugnuma – The Fable, is already earning praise from critics and audiences.

Manoj Bajpayee Says Kainchi Dham Inspired Jugnuma
In an interview, Manoj shared that he was going through a very restless phase in his career. Before his success with The Family Man, he even thought that his journey as an actor might be coming to an end. Work had slowed down, and he was searching for answers beyond fame and recognition. During this time, director Raam Reddy suggested visiting Kainchi Dham. Together, they trekked to Babaji’s cave, meditated there, and experienced something deeply spiritual. Manoj described it as a magical moment where both of them felt they had “found the film.”

For Manoj, this trip was not just a location recce but a spiritual awakening. He said the experience taught him about detachment and letting go of unnecessary attachments. “The more you are attached, the more problems you face. True liberation begins when you let go,” he explained.
These themes of detachment, freedom, and peace are strongly reflected in Jugnuma. Manoj shared that the struggles of the film’s protagonist echo his own inner journey. The visit to Kainchi Dham not only gave him clarity but also helped shape the essence of the story.
