Both

Manoj
Bajpayee
who
has
worked
with
Neeraj
on
several
projects
feels
that
he
brings
the
best
in
him
as
an
actor.
The
National
award-winning
actor
shared," Through
the
making
and
promotion
of
Special
26,
I
discovered
in
Neeraj
not
only
a
director
who
could
bring
out
the
best
in
me
as
an
actor
but
also
a
straightforward,
no-nonsense
man
of
few
words
whose
"good"
meant
"fantastic".
It
took
us
a
while
to
open
up
to
each
other
through
conversations
about
cinema
and
more,
but
eventually,
we
realized
how
much
in-sync
we
were."
Manoj
Bajpayee
will
be
seen
in
Neeraj's
next
Aiyaary
playing
the
role
of
Abhay
Singh
a
strong-minded
army
officer.
Aiyaary
is
a
thriller
film
revolving
around
the
relationship
between
a
mentor
and
a
protégé
played

Manoj
Bajpayee
