It is for the third time that Manoj has been pitted opposite Amitabh Bachchan, this time as a wily young politician, who uses every means to break the system, in Prakash Jha&#39;s &#39;Satyagraha&#39;.u00a0 <img alt="Manoj Bajpai" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/aug/Manoj-Bajpai.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 397px;" /> &quot;In an Amitabh Bachchan film, there&#39;s no other role which is better than his. In such a situation it&#39;s only the negative role which is as good as his, so it&#39;s best to go for the negative. I must say in films like &#39;Aks&#39;, &#39;Aarakshan&#39; or even &#39;Satyagraha&#39; now, the roles were written very carefully,&quot; Bajpai said in an interview here. The actor has played anti-hero or negative roles with elan in films like &#39;Aks&#39;, &#39;Road&#39;, &#39;Rajneeti&#39;, &#39;Aarakshan&#39; and &#39;Satyagraha&#39;. &quot;Negative roles are very difficult. In this film (&#39;Satyagraha&#39;) my character is a pure villain but I had to make an effort to evoke laughter too. I told Prakashji that no more negative or politician role for me. I think even he is sick and tired of political films. Now, whenever I will do a film with Prakash Jha it will be a positive role.&quot; &#39;Satyagraha&#39; is a multi-starrer film with Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Rao. But, Bajpai is not bothered about sharing screen space with so many actors. &quot;I don&#39;t care if I am doing a multi-starrer film or a solo hero film. Every actor knows his place as everyone knows what kind of character they are going to portray,&quot; he said. Besides Jha, Bajpai says there are very few people in the industry with whom he shares a good relation. One of them is filmmaker Sanjay Gupta with whom he has worked in films like &#39;Dus Kahaniyaan&#39;, &#39;Acid Factory&#39; and &#39;Shootout at Wadala&#39;. &quot;Sanjay Gupta is a very dear friend. We both went through a bad phase, so we relate to each other. It became my responsibility to support him in the time of his own crisis,&quot; he said.u00a0
