Manoj Bajpayee, who features in first-time director Dipesh Jain's "Gali Guleiyan" -- the gritty trailer of which came out on Saturday -- says he has always chosen independent movies over big budget entertainers as it is his comfort zone.

Just the content is what attracts him to films, Manoj told IANS while he was at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) where he won the Best Actor Award for his performance in Gali Guleiyan.
