Interestingly, he is currently being hailed as the King of OTT. No doubt, with his sheer dedication, he has successfully managed to find a strong foothold in the digital space.
Speaking to ANI, Manoj shared how he strives hard to always present good work to the audience, especially at a time when OTT platforms are blooming.
“The best thing that happened to me in the last four years is that I am receiving a lot of good offers. It depends on me which one I take, usually, I go for the one that takes creativity to the next level. I want to give the audience a different experience and I want to challenge myself. I want directors and writers to give me something extraordinary,” he said.
He added, “I am thankful that we have a lot of choices. Those who are talented have the choices and they are busy… it is the best time for the people who are experienced and talented. I never thought I would see this time in my life but thank God it has happened.”

Manoj has been on a roll. His film Sirf Ek Banda became the first movie to be released in theatres after a successful run on OTT. He also delivered a stellar performance in ‘Gulmohar’, which was also released on a digital platform last year.
He is now coming up with an intriguing web show ‘Killer Soup‘, which is directed by Abhishek Chaubey. It is a crime thriller that blends multiple genres. Konkana Sensharma is also a part of it.
Opening up about the show, Manoj asserted that the writing of the show is quite strong.
” I feel strong writing is the key ingredient to make any successful web show and the strength of this show is its writing. This kind of thriller or a black comedy has not been made ever before… it was a completely different experience to be a part of ‘Killer Soup’ world,” he added.
The series is about a rapid turn of events that follows amateur villains, amateur heroes, and amateurs in between in the fictitious town of Mainjur. It will be out on Netflix on January 11.
