Shah Rukh has star charisma which I lack: Manoj Bajpayee

NEW DELHI: Acclaimed actor Manoj Bajpayee thinks Shah Rukh Khan possess a star charisma that he doesn't have. "Stars like Shah Rukh Khan have a power over the entire nation. One glimpse of him and people go berserk. It always amazed me how it can happen. It can't be created. Either you are born with it or not. "If I stand at the airport, people won't go crazy but if Shah Rukh stands, people will because he has a star charisma but I don't have it," the actor said in a promotional interview of 'Naam Shabana'. "What I have is the ability to deliver and perform. That is what people expect from me and I try to stick to it," added Manoj who is all geared up for his next release which stars Taapsee Pannu as the lead role.

"For today's writer, director or producer, women are a colleague and equally important part of the society. Earlier it was different. Women weren't that much empowered. Today a director wants to work with a unique story," said the 'Gangs of Wasseypur' actor. 'Naam Shabana' is an action spy thriller movie directed by Shivam Nair and produced by Neeraj Pandey and Shital Bhatia under the Friday Filmworks banner.
