Traffic: Manoj Bajpai reveals the one trait every actor needs to have

Manoj Bajpai's upcoming release, Traffic, is set to be a gamechanger in Bollywood. The remake of the critically-acclaimed Malayalam film by the same name, is an emotional thriller based on a true story of a road trip from Mumbai to Pune.

Traffic chronicles the transportation of a harvested heart for a transplant, chasing a strict deadline. During the mission, the cast of the film faces numerous difficulties - and traffic is one of them.

Manoj Bajpai, who essays the lead character of a constable in the film, says that he really didn't need to prepare for his role.

"I don't prepare myself to be a constable. I prepared myself to be that human being who is wearing that uniform. It was very personal and very organic. I didn't really have to prepare myself for this," he said.

Bajpai, who has had a mix of hits and flops in his over two-decade-long career in showbiz, says he owns the success and failure of his films and feels that it is his responsibility to promote a film even when it doesn't do well at the Box Office.

"I make myself available for the film promotions, come what may. I have seen actors, who after knowing that their film is not that good, start backing out," he said.

"Owning a film is the biggest thing an actor can do. You can make mistakes and owning a mistake is the great thing which says you are ready to learn. I own my mistakes, I own my films whether they are good or bad. I make myself available for the promotions," the actor said.
