Birthday Special: Many such faces have started getting opportunities in the film industry, who achieve success only on the basis of their acting. Mohammad Ghori i.e. Manav Vij of the film ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ is one of those actors. Manav Vij, born on January 2, 1977 in Firozpur, Punjab, got an opportunity in Bollywood after a long time. Before that he had become a well-known face in the world of Punjabi films and TV.
Tomorrow i.e. 2nd January is Manav’s birthday. In such a situation, here we will know how was the journey of Manav Vij, who came from a small place, and what is special in him that makes him one of the wanted actors of Bollywood.
Journey from TV to films
Manav Vij has taken a degree in Homeopathy from the Medical College, Ludhiana, but he did not give priority to the medical profession and gave priority to acting. Manav was offered the role of revolutionary Sukhdev in his first film ‘Shaheed-e-Azam’ and he did not let it go. After this film released in 2002, apart from many Punjabi films, he also worked in Telugu films.
She first got recognition among the Hindi audience with ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’. This was his first TV serial and he became known in every household as Joydeep Sahil Virani. After this, Manav worked in many serials like ‘Parchhai’, ‘Kis Desh Mein Hai Mera Chand’ and ‘Mitva Phool Kamal Ke’.
It took years to make a mark in the film industry
Manav may have entered the film industry for the first time in 2002, but he got recognition among the general audience from his films released in recent years. Critics watched him carefully in the critically acclaimed film ‘Andhadhundh’. However, before that he had appeared in other films like Rangoon, Phillauri.
Made a name by taking risks
If you are not a star in the film industry, then you will definitely have to do some roles through which you can create your own distinct image. History also tells us the same, but it is not necessary that taking this risk is always beneficial for someone. But humans have that strength. He agreed to such roles which were quite interesting and difficult. He was also liked. From the role of a corrupt cop in ‘Andhadhund’ to completely offbeat films like ‘Lal Kaptaan’ and ‘Vadh’, his negative characters got different recognition.
Made a different position by working in different types of films
‘Andhadhund’, ‘Laal Kaptaan’, ‘Vadh’ and the recent ‘Biraha’, all these films are such in terms of content that the viewer just keeps watching. All these films of Manav can be called offbeat. Despite having a big star like Saif, ‘Laal Kaptaan’ proved to be a flop. The film was good but did not work. In such a situation, if someone can benefit from a flop film then it is a big thing. Manav Vij once again came under the radar of critics.
Although Manav Vij may have proved his acting prowess, yet he was not seen as a lead character in mainstream films. It is possible that he may get such a role in the coming days.
