Actor Manoj Bajpayee spoke to the media at the trailer launch of his 100th film Bhaiyya Ji in Mumbai’s Andheri area on Thursday. He expressed that he considers himself a very lucky person who has managed to be where he is today.
Manoj Bajpayee expressed that many artists do hard work every day but it is the love of the audience that has allowed and enabled him to tell the stories of his choice as an actor.
“I never thought I would do more than 10 films but life has been kind to me so here I am now with my 100th film. It’s not that I alone do the hard work, all artists work hard every day but I have made it this far only thanks to God and the audience", Manoj expressed.
The actor’s journey in the industry is quite dramatic. After failing to get recognition at the National School of Drama, he learned acting from Barry John. Manoj has been a good friend of Shah Rukh Khan since theatre as both of them had a common guru in Barry John.
Manoj made his silver screen debut 30 years ago with the critically acclaimed film Bandit Queen in which he had a small role. Then Ram Gopal Varma noticed him and eventually cast him as Bhiku Mhatre in the cult classic Satya. After 30 years in the profession, Manoj is now all set to play a desi action hero in Bhaiyya Ji.
The trailer, released on Thursday afternoon, showcases the story of the man, the myth and the mastermind that is Bhaiyya Ji (Manoj Bajpayee). The trailer begins with a politician asking a local who Bhaiyya Ji is. Here comes the man of the hour. He can change the course of politics, he can destroy his enemies within seconds. After a few more action-packed scenes involving Manoj Bajpayee, it is revealed that the politician killed Bhaiyya Ji’s brother. And the revenge saga continues – it is dark, intense and bloody.
The upcoming film is produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Samiksha Oswal, Shael Oswal, Shabana Raza Bajpayee and Vikram Khakhar. The film is slated to release on May 24, 2024.
