Talking about a potential role that he would like to portray, Manoj shares,

These days, the airport scene has evolved. Initially, the actors' PR would tip off photographers, but now our paparazzi have learned the schedules. When they photograph me, I sometimes feel guilty, because others might think I've called them. Many treat me with respect, and they also direct actors, in a fun way, on how to pose for a good picture. I would love to portray a paparazzi in a film. Poor guy doesn’t eating nothing because some celebrity is going to land at the airport.
