Shooting for Prakash Jha's ‘Rajneeti’ in Bhopal has taken a toll on Manoj Bajpai's weight as he could not help feasting on chicken biryani and mutton dishes every other day.

 

Manoj posted on his blog manojbajpayee-en.itzmyblog.com, "During the whole shoot of this film too much indulgence in food prevailed. Though I sometimes exercised too, but wondered about the restlessness of my tongue. In Bhopal, every other day we are treated with chicken biryani or a mutton dish".

"The end of a day's lunching is immediately followed by planning the other day's menu. It seems that I am failingly trying to keep my weight in control; reason being the uncertainty behind coming back to Bhopal for shooting again. After almost two and a half years of leaving smoking have I been able to enjoy the real taste of food. And it feels great. It wasn't so when I was a smoker," he added.

The actor, who recently acted in Madhur Bhandarkar's ‘Jail’, has been in Bhopal for some time as he is shooting the last phases of ‘Rajneeti’.

‘Rajneeti’ is a political satire and has Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor in different avatars. Ranbir and Katrina have created magic together in their recently released romantic comedy ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’.
