Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who plays a traffic constable in his upcoming thriller ‘Traffic’, says that terming all traffic officials as bribe-seekers is an irresponsible act since it is the common man who offers bribes to them.
“It is easy to say that traffic officials take money (bribe), but it is the common man who offers a bribe to the traffic police. From your experiences, you also know that no one allows their license to get confiscated.
“Calling all of them (traffic policemen), bribe-seekers will be a very irresponsible action of ours,” said Manoj, present at the launch of Big FM’s show “Big Heroes”.
In the film, Manoj plays a traffic constable who has committed a mistake and lost all respect. A situation where a heart has to be transported from one place to another in the extreme traffic of Mumbai offers him the challenge to gain that lost respect, a challenge he takes up despite the risks associated with it.
Manoj said: “And when it’s about the green corridor the whole department right from a commissioner to a lower level, comes to the streets, and anyhow try to transport the organ with their hard work, to save that one life. If we recognize and appreciate them, they will feel satisfied.” ‘Traffic’ also stars Jimmy Sheirgill, Sachin Khedekar, Divya Dutta among others.
