Mumbai: Actor Manoj Bajpayee is fine with not doing commercial films and will sign such films when he needs money.

Manoj has featured in films like Satya, Shool, Pinjar, Rajneeti, Gangs Of Wasseypur and Aligarh.

"I would do commercial films when I need money. As of now, no commercial films for me. Commercial films don't need me. They have talented people there. I do get offers for commercial cinema but the offers are less," Manoj told PTI.

Manoj will be seen next in Traffic, where he plays the role of a traffic policeman.

Traffic is a remake of the 2011 Malayalam film of the same name. It is inspired by an actual event that happened in Chennai. "I was enamoured after seeing the original film. It's a great story, which is inspirational," said Manoj.

Several actors from Bollywood, including Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have praised the film.

"As an actor, one has to observe things. In real life, you keep meeting different kind of people and you use that experience in your work," said Manoj.

Traffic, which also stars Jimmy Shergill, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee and Divya Dutta, will release on May 6.
