Bhaiyya Ji: Meet Manoj Bajpayee’s new badass character who is total gangster

Manoj Bajpayee is back in his element. The ace star will next be seen in action entertainer Bhaiyya Ji in the Apoorv Singh Karki directorial.

Manoj will return to the screen after his praise-worthy ZEE5 courtroom drama Sirf Ek Banda Kaafi Hai in which he fights for justice for a victim of rape and abuse.

Meet Bhaiyya Ji

Bhaiyya Ji is set in the land of Bihar. Makers dropped the teaser of the film which shows Manoj lying down on the road, presumably dead or hanging on to life with a few breaths left in him as a mob looks on and can be heard telling each other to “finish the job” with a spade. When one of them volunteers to take up the job, they get startled by Manoj’s sudden movement, almost like they are all scared to go near him. Manoj then rises, all battered and bruised, rising from the dead to stare into the camera.

Manoj finally gets up on his feet, takes the spade and can be seen ready to take on the mob.

On collaborating with Manoj after Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, Apoorv said, “With Bhaiyya Ji, we are embarking on a journey to portray the raw and unfiltered essence of the characters against the backdrop of intense revenge drama and showcase the strength & emotions of family bonds. After a hard-hitting subject of Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, I wanted to explore a completely different style of cinema and Bhaiyya Ji was the apt film.”

Bhaiyya Ji is set for release on May 24.
