New Delhi: After three decades in the industry, award-winning actor Manoj Bajpayee will finally turn producer with his wife Shabana.
Known for his stellar performances in films like Satya, Shool, Raajneeti, Special 26 and of course The Family Man, he is now all set to enter a new phase in his career with his maiden venture as a producer. He will also be playing the lead in the film called Bhaiyaaji. He has teamed up with the makers of his last successful film Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’, producer Vinod Bhanushali and director Apoorv Singh Karki for this venture, ETimes reported.
In Bhaiyaaji, Manoj will be playing a rugged, strong-headed man who is idolised by many. The film explores several emotions like standing up for your family and vengeance for the wrongdoings towards your own. The film will also bring back the heavy dialogues for which Hindi cinema was known in the 70s and 80s.
Bhaiyaaji is all set to commence shooting in mid-September, embarking on a 45-day schedule across Uttar Pradesh.
“I am thrilled to step into the world of Bhaiyaaji. It will be a raw and intense character that I am excited to bring to life. A thorough mainstream entertainer that Bhaiyaaji is, it made me decide to collaborate with Apoor Singh Karki who directed Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai and become the producer for this one along with the lovely team,” Bajpayee told ET.
Along with Manoj and his wife Shabana, the film will also be produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Samiksha Oswal, Shael Oswal, and Vikram Khakhar.
