Actor Manoj Bajpayee is fine not doing commercial films and will sign such movies when he needs money. The actor carved a niche for himself in B-town with films like "Satya", "Shool", "Pinjar", "Rajneeti", "Gangs Of Wasseypur", "Aligarh" and others. Manoj-Bajpai "I would do commercial films when I need money. As of now no commercial films for me. Commercial films don't need me. They have talented people there. I do get offers for commercial cinema but the offers are less," Bajpayee told PTI. He will be seen next in "Traffic" where he plays the role of a traffic policeman.
