'Bhaiyya Ji': Manoj Bajpayee says, 'cinematic hero has lost his connectivity with the masses'

Bollywood star Manoj Bajpayee who is making headlines for his upcoming film 'Bhaiyya Ji' presents himself in a new avatar as a mass hero.


In an interview with Zoom, Manoj revealed that in 'Bhaiyya Ji' audiences will see him like never before. The actor mentioned that his job entails continually reinventing himself and pursuing new challenges. He expressed that he has always avoided repeating himself, and in the movie "Bhaiyya Ji," audiences will witness a version of him unlike anything before.

Manoj admitted to feeling both nervous and excited about the release, especially after a considerable time. He also mentioned his appreciation for director Apoorv Singh Kark's confidence in his capability to portray this action-packed character. The actor further added that while they are embracing a full-action, mass-oriented approach in the film, they are also pushing boundaries and breaking stereotypes.

The 'Joram' actor mentioned over the years, the cinematic hero has lost his connectivity with the masses. Recent films show the hero in VFX-heavy films. While they may be very successful, but they do not reflect the sensibilities of the man on the street. With Bhaiyya Ji, the makers hope to revive the era of the common man’s hero on screen, added the Satya actor.

The film is helmed by Apoorv Singh Karki, who earlier collaborated with the actor on ‘Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai’. It is set to release on May 24, 2024.
