As the release date of Manoj Bajpayee’s highly anticipated film Bhaiyya Ji draws near, the actor is not just preparing for another premiere but is marking a monumental milestone — his 100th film in the industry. This remarkable achievement comes with a mix of surprise and reflection for Bajpayee, who shared his thoughts on reaching this significant number in his illustrious career.
Manoj Bajpayee says ‘miracle’ on completing 100th film with Bhaiyya Ji
From Satya (1998) and Gangs of Wasseypur (2012) to The Family Man (2019) and Joram (2023), Manoj Bajpayee has come a long way with a string of iconic projects. Now, the actor is gearing up to release his 100th film in the industry. Fans and him alike are astonished by such a feat.
In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Manoj Bajpayee shared his disbelief. It was when Bhaiyya Ji’s director Apoorv Singh Karki informed him about the milestone. “He told me one day, ‘Sir do you know that you have completed your 100 films’ and I was completely surprised,” said Bajpayee.
The actor described this moment as a “miracle,” reflecting on his humble beginnings and the unpredictability of his career path. “When I look back at the time when I first came to Mumbai, I never thought I’d even be able to do 10 films. But now see – I am 100 films down.”
Manoj Bajpayee attributes this unexpected milestone to a blend of several known and unknown factors. “It was just destiny, and destiny’s game and play. And I am happy that this is my 100th film. Because when I was growing up in Bihar, all the 70s commercial films used to mesmerize me,” he explained. This nostalgia is fitting as Bhaiyya Ji will showcase Bajpayee embracing a full-circle moment. The actor will adopt a mass-market action hero persona reminiscent of those early inspirations.
As the countdown to the release begins, the excitement among fans is palpable. Stay tuned for more updates!
