Manoj Bajpayee has always been known for great performances and his stark portrayal of an obsessed politician and lover in Tevar has won him a nomination for the Best Actor in a Negative Role category for TOIFA 2016.

Sharing his thoughts about this nomination, Manoj Bajpayee said, `I was impressed with director Amit Sharma's belief in my character - Gajendra Singh. There were 2-3 facets of his personality which were endearing. I am extremely happy that it has earned me a TOIFA nomination.`


Only time will tell if he wins his first TOIFA trophy; however in the meantime he is surely brimming with pride.

TOIFA 2016 will be held in Dubai on the 18th of March at Dubai International Stadium, Dubai Sports City.
