Manoj Bajpayee will be teaming up with his Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai director Apoorv Singh Karki for another courtroom drama. The actor’s wife Shabana Raza Bajpayee made the announcement on her birthday on Friday. The yet-to-be-titled film will be produced by Vikram Khakhar, under Manoj and Shabana’s home production Aurega Studios.
Shabana posted two pictures of herself along with the film’s team including Manoj, Apoorv and Vikram and wrote, “One of the best birthday gifts ever, and yes, I had a hand in picking it out. Thrilled to announce a new project from Aurega Studios – a riveting new soon-to-be-titled courtroom drama starring my amazing (and very talented) husband Manoj Bajpayee, directed by the fabulous Apoorv Singh Karki, and produced by yours truly, Vikram Khakhar, and Manoj Bajpayee under our home production Aurega Studios.”
The announcement also comes on a day when Manoj’s 100th film Bhaiyya Ji has started streaming on ZEE5. “Today is even more special as we celebrate the release of Manoj's 100th film, Bhaiyyaji, on Zee5, and the milestone of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai reaching 1 billion watch minutes,” she added.
When it comes to other projects, Manoj has Kanu Bahl’s Despatch and Ram Reddy’s The Fable in the pipeline.
