Manoj Bajpayee reveals that during a spiritual retreat at Neem Karoli Baba’s ashram in Kainchi Dham, Uttarakhand, he went through a period of deep restlessness and even considered quitting acting. He, along with director Raam Reddy, visited Babaji’s cave, meditated, and felt a powerful clarity—both said, 'We found the film.' This experience became the foundation for his latest movie 'Jugnuma – The Fable'. He opened up about how this time helped him reconnect with purpose, overcome doubts, and channel those spiritual lessons into his work.
