New Delhi: Manoj Bajpayee turns producer his first venture under Manoj Bajpayee Productions Pvt Ltd with an untitled film starring Tabu and himself.
He says the new feather in his hat is a “natural progression”.
“I think production was a natural progression for me after acting in film for 20 years. I cannot disclose much about my first production as it’s a thriller and it would mean revealing the storyline – you will have to watch the film,” Manoj said.
The film will be directed by debutant Mukul Abhyankar.
The actor has just finished shooting for ‘Aligarh’. It is loosely based on the real-life incident of an Aligarh Muslim University gay professor, who was terminated from his job because of his sexuality.
The shooting started in January-end this year, in Bareilly, and after a two-month schedule, it culminated in Mumbai last week. The film is scheduled to release later this year.
Bajpayee essays the role of the homosexual professor in the film.
