In an interview ahead of the release of Chutzpah, he recalled the tough time when he was jobless and he had to wait for the right things to come his way. 

In an interview, Manjot said, "When I started (my career), I was 16, that time I got a lot of films. After Fukrey, I think  ek time aaya tha ke mere paas do saal tak kaam nahi tha (there was time when I did not get work for 2 years)."

"So, the offers that were coming I didn't wished to do and things I wanted to do, weren't coming my way.  I was not satisfied with the offers I was getting. So that was a phase where I felt easy nahi hai. Sitting at home, I was studying and at the same time I was getting films. I was earning good money too, (I thought) life is amazing. But reality check tab pata chalta (you get the reality check) when you have to wait for the right thing," Manjot added.

When he had approached a casting agency to manage him, they had said it would be difficult for him to find roles because of his religion.

On the work front, Manjot has web sereis 'Chutzpah' and 'Fukrey 3' in the pipeline.
